8.7″ Damascus Patterned Engraved Blade Full Tang Sharp Blade Blank with Sheath

Premium 8.7″ Damascus Patterned Full-Tang Fixed Blade Blank with Leather Sheath

Looking for the ultimate starting point for your next custom fixed-blade project? Our 8.7″ Damascus Patterned Engraved Blade Blank gives you a head start on crafting a premium outdoor knife without sacrificing the traditional beauty of hand-forged Damascus.

This pre-shaped, professionally tempered blank features a rugged full-tang handle, a razor-sharp cutting edge, and a beautifully patterned, custom-engraved blade. Better yet, it comes paired with its own heavy-duty leather sheath, so once you finish shaping your custom handle scales, your new knife is immediately field-ready.

Why This Blank is the Perfect DIY Maker Project

1. Bold Damascus Patterning & Custom Engraving

Forged by folding and welding alternating high-carbon steel alloys, this blank offers a stunning high-contrast ripple pattern across the steel face. To elevate the design even further, the blade features unique surface engraving that accentuates the curves of the steel, ensuring your completed project stands out from any standard blade.

2. Indestructible Full-Tang Strength

For serious hunting, skinning, or wilderness survival, a full-tang design is absolutely mandatory. Because a single solid piece of Damascus steel runs uninterrupted from the tip of the knife to the butt of the handle, there are no weak joints or separate guards to fail. It provides exceptional leverage, durability, and a naturally balanced hand feel.

3. Includes a Custom-Fitted Leather Sheath

Finding or crafting a sheath that perfectly fits a custom knife profile can be incredibly difficult and expensive. We have solved that problem by including a heavy-duty, thick-stitched leather belt sheath designed specifically for this 8.7″ blade profile. It keeps your finished tool secure and protected during field carry.

4. Seamless DIY Handle Assembly

The handle section is completely flat-ground and normalized, featuring pre-drilled pinholes. This allows you to smoothly align, glue, and pin your choice of handle scales—whether you prefer exotic burl wood, durable Micarta, colorful resin, or classic G10.

Custom Handle Installation Tip:

• Prepare the Scales: Cut two matching pieces of handle material to slightly overlap the metal profile of the tang.

• Glue & Clamp: Apply a high-quality, water-resistant epoxy (like G-Flex) to both the metal tang and the inside of your scales.

• Insert Pins: Push your brass rods or mosaic pins through the pre-drilled holes, clamp the handle tightly, and let the epoxy cure completely before you begin sanding, grinding, and polishing your handle scales into their final, comfortable shape.
