3in Wharncliffe Full Tang Blade Blank BL155

The 3-inch Wharncliffe Full Tang Blade Blank is the perfect choice for knife makers, hobbyists, and collectors looking to create a custom fixed blade that blends precision with durability. Compact yet versatile, this blade blank is designed for those who enjoy crafting their own knives, offering a solid stainless steel foundation ready for your choice of handle material. Whether you’re a seasoned bladesmith or a beginner taking on your first knife-making project, this blank provides everything you need to bring your vision to life.

At the core of this blank is a 3.00-inch Wharncliffe blade crafted from stainless steel. Known for its straight cutting edge and pointed tip, the Wharncliffe design is ideal for detail work, controlled slicing, and utility cutting tasks. Originally designed for sailors and tradesmen, the Wharncliffe blade shape has earned a reputation for precision and dependability. With a blade thickness of .08 inches, this blank strikes the perfect balance between strength and fine-edge sharpness, making it an excellent starting point for a compact everyday carry or utility knife.

The satin finish on the blade enhances both aesthetics and performance. By reducing glare and giving the steel a refined, professional appearance, the satin finish highlights the craftsmanship of the blade while also offering practical resistance against scratches from regular use. Stainless steel itself provides corrosion resistance, edge retention, and durability, ensuring that your finished knife will be dependable whether used indoors, outdoors, or as part of a collection.

Built with a full tang construction, this blade blank delivers the strength and stability knife makers demand. Full tang designs extend the blade steel throughout the handle, which not only improves durability but also ensures better balance and handling. Pre-drilled rivet holes make it easier to attach your choice of handle material, whether you prefer natural options like wood, antler, or bone, or modern synthetics like G-10 or Micarta. This flexibility gives you complete creative control over the look and feel of your finished knife.

Measuring 8.50 inches overall and weighing 4.6 ounces, this blank is compact enough for everyday carry yet substantial enough for serious cutting tasks. Its balanced size makes it versatile for crafting a utility knife, a compact hunting knife, or even a collectible piece. Made in Pakistan, this blade blank combines global craftsmanship with the customization opportunities that knife makers love.

For hobbyists, knife enthusiasts, and collectors, the 3-inch Wharncliffe Full Tang Blade Blank is more than just raw steel—it’s a blank canvas. Each maker has the chance to transform this durable stainless steel blade into a one-of-a-kind creation that reflects their style, skill, and personality. Whether you build it for personal use, as a gift, or to add to your knife collection, the result will be uniquely yours.
