1.4116 Tanto Knife Blank - K05

A tanto blade concentrates mass behind the point. That makes it the pattern of choice where a tip is likely to take abuse.

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.
