D2 Knife Blank - DI13 (DI13)

D2 Knife Blank - DI13

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

Böhler K110 (D2) is the classic semi-stainless tool steel. High carbide volume gives excellent wear resistance; it needs a little more care than a true stainless.

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.
