M390 Knife Blank - M04 (M04)

M390 Knife Blank - M04

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

M390 sits at the top of the stainless ladder. It goes remarkably far between sharpenings and resists corrosion in conditions that would mark lesser steels.

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.
