I am Looking to put together a neck knife from scratch. I have seen a few different websites that sell knife blanks and am having a hard time choosing. I am personally looking for a Scandi grind Neck knife blank.. SO… Has anyone put together a knife kit you found online? Do you have any recommendations on a site or brand of knife blank? Any brands to stay away from? Any Steels to stay away from? Anyone locally that makes or sells blade blanks?
Check ragweed forge for more traditional kits. Otherwise, lamina.com has pretty good prices and their search filters are comprehensive. A brand that gets a lot of good reviews is enzo
baryonyx has a couple condor blanks that might work, maybe too big for your use, or just right https://www.baryonyxknife.com/cobubl.html
I’m finding with the available blanks a lot are made of steels I’ve never heard of… It’s making it really hard to decide..
on Enzo knife blanks - several necker options /styles, some of which are scandi and in popular steels
They are more designed to be wrapped in Paracord. But this may be a good option for me. Anyone have experience with the brand? I am thinking that rounding off the backside and adding micarta scales with a bow drill divet would work nicely .. #1 Terävä Skrama 80 https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/terava-skrama-80-bare-tang/53530 Or #2 Terävä Jääkäripuukko 85 https://www.varusteleka.com/en/product/terava-jaakaripuukko-85-bare-tang/53542
I don’t have any experience with their smaller knives, but I have a Terava Skrama 240 and it is absolutely awesome especially for the price. The 80CRV2 steel is great. Shipped from Finland within 1 1/2 weeks. I think Varusteleka is a stand-up company.
