4116 All Purpose Kitchen Blade M size
A medium all-purpose profile is the safe first build. Familiar proportions, no awkward geometry, and a shape that gets used daily. The blade measures 160 mm, 290 mm overall.
1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) is the steel behind most German kitchen knives, and for good reason. It is tough, highly corrosion resistant and remarkably easy to sharpen — ideal for a first build or a knife that will see hard daily use.
We buy our steel direct from Voestalpine, grind each blade by hand on the belt grinder, and return the finished blanks to Voestalpine for professional heat treatment. No guesswork, no garage quenching.
