200mm Kiritsuke Knife Blade Blank – 440C Stainless Steel
Create your own custom kitchen knife with this Kiritsuke knife blade blank, designed for knife makers, craftsmen, and DIY enthusiasts looking for a versatile and distinctive blade profile. With a 200mm (7.87″) blade length, 45mm blade width, and slim 2mm thickness, this blank provides an excellent foundation for building a custom Kiritsuke-style chef knife.
The blade is made from 440C stainless steel, a well-known high-carbon stainless steel commonly used for knives and cutting tools. With a hardness of approximately 58-59 HRC, this blade offers a practical combination of edge retention, hardness, sharpening ability, and durability for everyday kitchen use.
Kiritsuke-Style Blade Profile
The distinctive Kiritsuke blade shape combines a long, relatively straight cutting edge with a characteristic angular tip. This profile provides excellent versatility for a wide range of kitchen tasks, including slicing, chopping, push cutting, and precise vegetable preparation.
The 200mm blade length is large enough for professional-style food preparation while remaining manageable for home kitchens. The 45mm blade width provides useful blade height and knuckle clearance, while the 2mm thickness keeps the blade relatively slim for clean and efficient cutting.
This combination makes the blank particularly suitable for makers who want to build a custom chef knife with a Japanese-inspired profile while having the freedom to select their own handle materials, handle shape, and final finishing details.
440C Stainless Steel
440C stainless steel is a popular choice for knife making because it offers good corrosion resistance together with respectable edge retention and wear resistance. The stainless composition makes it easier to maintain than many traditional carbon steels, making it suitable for kitchen knives that may regularly come into contact with moisture and food.
At approximately 58-59 HRC, the steel provides a balanced level of hardness for a practical kitchen knife. It can achieve a sharp working edge while remaining relatively straightforward to maintain and resharpen compared with harder premium powder steels.
Ideal for Custom Knife Making
This Kiritsuke knife blade blank is intended for makers who want to create a personalized kitchen knife rather than purchase a finished knife. You can pair the blade with your preferred handle material, including hardwood, stabilized wood, micarta, G10, carbon fiber, or other knife-making materials.
The blank can be used for custom chef knives, handmade kitchen knives, Japanese-style knives, knife-making projects, and unique one-of-a-kind creations.
Whether you are an experienced bladesmith, professional knife maker, or DIY enthusiast, this 440C Kiritsuke blank gives you a versatile starting point for your next project.
