These knife blade blanks are made near the small Swedish town of Mora, which has been famous for its knives for centuries. Supplied without a handle, the blanks let you create a classic bushcraft knife with a custom-shaped handle made from the wood of your choosing.
Both versions measure just over 6 3/4" in overall length, with a 3 3/4" blade that has a slight drop-point profile. Supplied sharpened and ready for mounting, each has a hidden tang designed to be fixed with epoxy rather than rivets. The tang can be press-fit into a mortise made either by chain-drilling into a solid handle block or by cutting a rebate into a two-piece laminated handle.
The carbon-steel blade takes a fine edge and is hardened to Rc57-60. Like all high-carbon steels, it will oxidize over time and should be wiped clean and dry after use to prevent rust.
The stainless-steel blade offers similar performance with reduced maintenance. Although stainless steel does not take quite as keen an edge as high-carbon steel, it resists corrosion and is well suited to general-purpose outdoor use.
A straightforward project for beginners and experienced makers alike.
