Designed for knife makers, craftsmen, and DIY enthusiasts, this blank combines a hard carbon steel core with protective stainless steel layers, copper, and brass accents to create both excellent cutting performance and exceptional visual appeal.
With a 210mm (8.27 inch) blade length, this chef knife blank provides a versatile size for everyday kitchen tasks, including slicing vegetables, preparing meat, chopping herbs, and general food preparation. The blade design offers a professional balance between maneuverability, cutting power, and precision, making it an excellent foundation for a custom chef knife project.
Premium Cu Mai Layered Steel Construction
The highlight of this knife blank is the Cu Mai steel construction, a traditional layered metal technique that combines different materials into a unique blade structure. The core is made from high carbon steel, providing excellent edge holding ability, sharpness, and cutting performance. The high carbon core reaches approximately 60 HRC hardness, allowing the finished knife to maintain a durable and long-lasting edge.
The high carbon core is protected by multiple outer layers of stainless steel, copper, and brass. These protective layers help improve corrosion resistance while creating a distinctive layered pattern that makes every finished knife visually unique. The combination of steel, copper, and brass produces an elegant appearance that stands out from ordinary knife blanks.
Blackened Blade Finish for a Unique Appearance
This Cu Mai blank features a blackening treatment that enhances the contrast between the different metal layers and gives the blade a refined, modern handmade look. The dark finish highlights the copper and brass elements while adding character to the final custom knife.
Because each blank is individually crafted, the pattern, colors, and details of the layered materials may vary slightly, making every handmade knife truly one of a kind.
