1095 High Carbon Steel Traditional Tanto Knife Blank Blade Hunting Skinning Skinner 1095HC Black Powder Coated

This beautiful blade is handmade from high quality 1095 steel with a hardened (baked-on) black powder epoxy coating to provide additional corrosion resistance. This gives it a very handsome and unique look while also protecting it from rust.1095 is a high carbon steel (not a stainless steel) and is commonly used in heavy duty tools. It can carry an extremely sharp edge. 1095 makes great steel for heavy duty choppers and survival knives because of its extreme durability and resistance to chipping, easy sharpening and edge retention. It is much tougher than premium stainless steels. Because it is a high carbon steel, it is very important to keep it clean and oiled. Take extra care to store a knife made of 1095 out of any leather cases (this is a good idea for all knives) and keep a thin layer of lubricant on the exposed (non-black powder coated portions of the) steel.This knife blank is custom designed by us and 100% hand-forged.Specifications:Black Powder Coated Traditional Tanto Blade Style9.0 inches Approximate Overall Length5.0 inches Approximate Cutting Edge LengthSlightly upswept curve to blade and handle3.75 inches Approximate Handle Length1.0 inch Widest Part of Blade1.0 inches Widest Part of Handle4mm (1/8 inch) Thick ApproximatelySteel Construction: 1095 high carbon steel with black powder coating on the outside (for protection against rust)Blade comes sharpened.
