Experience has taught us that there’s nothing like digging in and getting started. Even, if you’ve never made a knife before you can try your crafting skills with simple or makeshift tools! The thrill of carving, grinding, shaping, and buffing your own handle is unbelievably satisfying. Be proud of what you can create even if the end result is less than perfect. The KATSURA AUS-10 Damascus Small Santoku Knife Blank Hidden Tang comes with a blade blank only, allowing for a design-it-yourself handle made from the material of your choice.
- KITCHEN KNIFE MAKING KIT – This woodworking project kit includes a hidden tang knife blank ONLY. Customize your very own knife handle by using any type of wood or get creative with your choice of material. Give your Japanese Santoku Knife a unique personality by hand finishing all the parts. BONUS: Includes a handle end cap.
- ENGINEERED TO PERFECTION – Unparalleled design, Katsura knife blade blanks are made with a Japanese AUS-10 Core reinforced with 66 Layers of Damascus Steel, 60+ Rockwell hardness. With excellent edge retention, your small cutting knife will stay razor sharp for years to come. Feel the strength and beauty of your unique knife in your hand.
- WOODWORKING PROJECT – Go ‘old school’ and put together your own handle and blade tang. Making knife handles is easier than you think, even if all you have is a sharp pocket knife and some scraps of softwood. Draw your dream knife handle on a piece of wood and carve it to the finished shape. No logo on the blade, because only the artist should write their name on their work.
- PROFESSIONAL SANTOKU KNIFE – Santoku translates as the “3 virtues”, referring to the 3 types of cuts suited to this blade – slicing, dicing, and mincing. The 5-inch blade has a razor-sharp edge that makes it perfect for fine cuts. Create your own ergonomic handle out of any material around the perfectly balanced hidden tang handle.

Crafters, hobbyists, and even foodies/chefs will love owning their own custom knife handles! SIZE (excluding end cap): 5-inch Blade, 8.75-inch overall, NW 2.50 OZ, HRC 60+ hardness.
