1.4116 Tanto Knife Blank - K07 (K07)

1.4116 Tanto Knife Blank - K07

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

X50CrMoV15 is the pragmatic stainless. Molybdenum and vanadium give wear resistance without brittleness, and maintenance is close to zero.

We buy steel direct from Voestalpine, grind each blade by hand on the belt grinder, and return the blanks to Voestalpine for heat treatment done to spec.
