D2 Knife Blank - DI11

This blank arrives ground and hardened, which removes the two hardest steps from a knife build.

D2 has been a knife steel staple for decades. It holds an edge a long time and rewards a maker who does not mind wiping the blade down.

Certified Voestalpine steel, hand ground in our workshop, professionally heat treated by Voestalpine before it ships. That is the whole process.
