The Rite Edge Clip Point Damascus Blank is 8.25 inches overall with a 3.75 inch Damascus blade, in one-piece construction.
One-piece construction means blade and tang are a single continuous piece with no weld or joint, which is what a knifemaker wants under a handle that has to take load. At 3.75 inches the blade suits an everyday fixed blade or a small hunter rather than a large camp knife, so the finished build stays compact.
Damascus is forge-welded from layers of different steels, and the pattern that appears after etching is the boundary between those layers running through the metal. The blank arrives ready for scales, so the work left is shaping and fitting a handle rather than grinding a blade from bar stock. Explore more knives.
