At the heart of this blank is a 10.75-inch stainless steel dagger blade featuring a satin finish. Stainless steel is renowned for its corrosion resistance, toughness, and ability to retain a sharp edge, making it ideal for knives that are meant to perform in a variety of conditions. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, polished look while reducing glare and highlighting the blade’s contours and craftsmanship. Its dagger shape, with a symmetrical double-edged design, is perfect for piercing, precision cutting, and a variety of utility applications. This classic profile has been used for centuries for both practical and display knives, and it continues to be a favorite among collectors and custom knife enthusiasts.
The push tang construction of this blank makes it easy to attach your chosen handle material while providing a solid and secure foundation. Push tangs allow for a variety of handle configurations, giving knife makers the creative freedom to craft a custom handle that suits both their aesthetic preferences and functional requirements. Whether you prefer traditional materials like wood, bone, or antler, or modern options such as Micarta or G-10, the push tang design ensures a durable, balanced, and visually appealing finished knife.
To enhance both safety and style, this dagger blank comes with an attached brass guard. The guard protects the user’s hand from slipping onto the blade during use while adding a timeless, classic look that complements a wide range of handle materials. Brass is both sturdy and visually appealing, making it an ideal choice for custom knife projects. The combination of a stainless steel blade and brass guard creates a striking contrast, giving the finished knife a professional and elegant appearance.
Measuring 15.5 inches overall and weighing 12.31 ounces, this blade blank is substantial enough to create a full-sized dagger that feels solid and balanced in hand. Its size and construction make it suitable for collectors, display pieces, or functional custom knives intended for tactical or utility purposes. The blank provides ample opportunity for knife makers to exercise creativity, producing a finished piece that is uniquely their own.
