1.4116 Tanto Knife Blank - K04

The tanto tip trades a fine point for strength. Where a drop point would flex or snap, the reinforced tanto geometry keeps working.

German 1.4116 trades ultimate hardness for toughness. It resists chipping and comes back to sharp quickly, which is exactly what a working outdoor knife needs.

Steel sourced from Voestalpine, hand ground by our team, then heat treated professionally at the mill. Every blank arrives at working hardness.
