SZCO Supplies Tiger Skinner Blade Blank Knife, brass,6.5 inch

exactly what I wanted

Easy to make antler handle knives. They will sharpen up, not bad for the price.

I did a quick review of knives. I'm at the age where I need to invest some money in kitchen knives. Our friend has Wusthof, which we enjoyed while staying at their vacation home. But they're terribly expensive. I think this will do until we get to that point where we can invest some money in the kitchen knives. I honestly don't believe this is Damascus's process for $50. And it's not the X50CRMOV15 that Wusthof is made out of. X50CRMOV15: 0.5% Carbon: For better hardness as well as the ability to keep wear or corrosion at bay 15% Chromium: For great tensile strength, reliable ability to retain an edge, and better power to resist wear as well as corrosion 1% Silicon: For boosted strength. 1% Manganese: For better hardness as well as brittleness 0.8% Molybdenum: For boosted strength as well as machinability (flexibility during manufacturing process) 0.20% Vanadium: For better hardenability as well as resistance to wear 0.015% Sulfur: For better flexibility during the manufacturing process 0.04% Phosphorus: For boosted strength Listen. I'm not running for the Iron Chef here. The AUS-10: X50CrMoV15 vs. AUS10 AUS10 wins over the former in terms of edge retention ability. However, X50CrMoV15 is tougher and easier to sharpen The only thing I have to remind myself is not to drop this knife or try to cut bones, because AUS-10 will chip the knife edge. Other than that, this knife has an ergonomic design (graduation in knife handle to the blade), and it's full tang with a big-ole bolt in the middle out of three bolts to hold it onto its G-10 handle, which is very ideal. Most of my pocket knives have G-10 handles. Yes, of course, I want the CTS XHP Steel kitchen knife with a G-10 handle, but let's be real. My tiny pocket knife cost $110, I can't imagine a kitchen knife costing anything affordable for the average joe. This is a good purchase. Buy it. Edit: I bought one more. The price is too good for this knife. I love using it.

Works great for deer antler knife

Blade came quickly in good packaging. Blade looks good- no defects in the metal. Finger guard slot is excessively big and is unusable for this blade unless you use excessive amount of solder to install.

Made some nice knives from a six point I got a few years ago. I'll be using these this fall.

Awesome Knife blank for the price and quality! Use epoxy for this blade.

Nice

You can get an edge but not really sharp. The pregrinds angles are uneven and took a long time to correct but when I didn't get an sharp edge it wasn't fun any more.

is sharp enough. good for price. tang could be a little longer. looks good on antler handle.

Bem simples, mas para brincar de cutelaria...vale

Es muy sencillo hacerle la empuñadura, yo la hice de Nogal, lo compré como complemento del de 15 pulgadas, ambos son excelentes en material y fabricación.

Bought this knife for a antler knife project, wife found a local knife maker to put it all together. I used this knife to field dress and skin a small buck, never had to stop and sharpen it at all. This blade is prefect for a skinner and is perfect for anyone looking to make a custom knife or have one made.
