D2 Knife Blank - DI30 (DI30)

D2 Knife Blank - DI30

A hardened, ground blade blank ready for handle work. The heat treatment is done and the geometry is set — everything after this is yours.

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.

The steel comes straight from Voestalpine. Profiling and grinding happen on our benches; hardening and tempering go back to the mill.
