Powder Steel Utility Knife Blank
Create a high-performance custom knife with this PM powder steel utility knife blade blank, designed for knife makers, custom builders, and DIY knife projects. With a 120 mm blade length, 2 mm blade thickness, HRC 60 hardness, and hidden tang construction, this blank provides an excellent foundation for building a compact utility, kitchen, outdoor, or everyday-use knife.
The blade features a clean, practical profile that combines a relatively compact cutting length with a versatile point and useful working edge. Its proportions make it suitable for projects where maneuverability, precision, and a comfortable finished handle are important.
PM Powder Steel Blade
This knife blank is made from PM (powder metallurgy) steel, a modern steel-making technology valued by knife makers for its ability to produce refined and consistent steel structures.
With a stated hardness of approximately HRC 60, this blade blank is intended for makers looking for a relatively hard cutting tool with good edge-holding potential.
The final performance of any custom knife will depend on the specific steel grade, heat treatment, sharpening geometry, and finished construction. Because this is supplied as a blade blank, the buyer can create a knife according to their own preferences and intended use.
120 mm Blade Length
The 120 mm (4.7 inch) blade length makes this blank particularly interesting for compact custom knives.
A blade of this size can be practical for a variety of projects, including:
Utility knives
Compact kitchen knives
Small chef-style knives
EDC-inspired custom knives
Camp knives
Outdoor utility knives
DIY knife-making projects
Handmade gift knives
The relatively compact blade gives the finished knife excellent control while still providing enough cutting edge for many everyday tasks.
2 mm Blade Thickness
At approximately 2 mm thick, this blank has a relatively slim blade profile.
A thinner blade can be advantageous when the goal is to create a knife that feels precise and responsive in the hand. It can also be well suited to slicing-oriented designs where a thin cutting geometry is desirable.
The final edge geometry should be selected according to the intended purpose of your finished knife.
Hidden Tang Construction
This blade blank uses a hidden tang design.
Unlike a full-tang knife, where the tang extends through the entire handle and is visible around the handle scales, a hidden tang is largely enclosed inside the handle.
This construction gives knife makers considerable freedom when designing a custom handle. You can experiment with different handle materials, shapes, colors, and decorative elements while keeping the finished knife visually clean.
The stated hidden tang length is 69 mm, providing a compact foundation for a custom handle.
Ideal for Custom Knife Makers
One of the main advantages of purchasing an unfinished blade blank is the freedom to create a knife that is completely your own.
Choose your preferred handle material, including:
Ironwood
Stabilized wood
Burl wood
Micarta
G10
Carbon fiber
Custom composites
Hybrid handle materials
You can also customize the handle shape, finish, balance, and overall appearance according to your project.
For makers who enjoy creating handmade knives, a quality blade blank can save considerable time compared with producing the entire blade from raw steel.
A Versatile Blade for DIY Projects
This PM powder steel blade blank is a good choice for knife makers looking for a compact blade with a practical profile and approximately HRC 60 hardness.
Its 120 mm blade length and 2 mm thickness make it particularly suitable for smaller knives where precision and maneuverability are important.
Whether you are an experienced knifemaker or an enthusiast starting a new DIY project, this blank provides a useful starting point for creating a personalized knife.
The finished knife can become a practical tool, a handmade kitchen knife, an outdoor companion, or a unique custom piece.
