JNR Traders Damascus Tanto Knife Blanks Knife Making Supplies, Diy 13 inch Hunting Knife Blade Blank 9047

No complaints

I customized mine a little. I don't like to the pointed edge on the blade. For one, the pointed edge isn't good for slicing meat; it just scrapes. For slicing meat, the edge has to be continuous long. Put couple of holes just for aesthetic look. Handle is made with red cedar. Turned out okay. Tested it to dress a hog, work great.

Gifted and works good

Excellent machined blank, need to find a sheath for lt!!

So I wanted to see what sort of knife blank I could get from Amazon. While the blank is simple, there are pros and some cons.First, cons. While I’d agree that this was handmade, it is far from finished. The steel is good and the balance is on target, the knife needs a lot of time under sandpaper and polishing compound. There are grind ridges on all the tapers. The thickness varies at certain points down the blade and the grind faces are at different angles. Not a deal breaker, but needs a lot of work before done.The pros are that the knife feels good in my hand which is a hard thing for most grip designs like this one. I also like how there is a carve out for choking up which also feels very comfortable. I thought about adding a half hilt but I don’t think I’ll need it.Overall, I got what I paid for.

The Damascus blade is amazing and very sharp. The shipping was so fast, two days!!!! I build knives and this is my favorite blank. I will be ordering more

Beautiful and exactly as portrayed. Just as a comment, I wish a smaller version of this design was offered for sale. I'd love one that could be carried day-to-day.

It was great quality and make I enjoy the ability to customize the knife handle for myself
