4116 Full Tang Santoku Chef Knife Blank - KC05

This full tang santoku keeps the flat vegetable-friendly edge while giving you the simpler construction of a Western handle.

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.
