Whole Earth Supply D2 Steel Traditional Tanto Knife Blank Making Blade Hunting Skinner Skinning D-2 Knives

This blade is handmade from high quality D-2 steel.

D-2 is a high-carbon tool steel, capable of holding a sharp edge for a long period of time. It is also much more resistant to corrosion than 1095. D-2 is called "semi-stainless", because it offers more stainless properties than high carbon steels, but it is also much tougher than premium stainless steels. D-2 has high wear-resistance and abrasion-resistance properties. It is heat treated and offers a hardness up to 57 HRC. This knife blank is custom designed by us and 100% hand-forged. Blank may require buffing and polishing to get out any scuffs in the surface.

Blank filework may vary or be absent. We try to keep them all consistent but sometimes the filework may vary or be absent.
