The Huntsman DIY Knife Kit is built for craftsmen who value durability, precision, and the striking appearance of true Damascus steel. Made in the USA, this fixed blade blank is forged from 416 layers of high-performance carbon steels, hollow-ground on both sides, and ready for handle installation. Whether you're crafting a dependable hunting knife or a collectible showpiece, the Huntsman delivers rugged performance with a refined profile.
This full tang blade measures 8.00 inches overall and features a 3.00-inch blade length with a 1.25-inch width. It includes three 0.187-inch through-holes in the tang for custom handle attachment, and stainless steel pinstock is included. The holes can also be modified to work with larger pins or threaded fasteners. Heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 56–58 RC, the Huntsman is designed to stand up to field use with confidence.
The blade’s Damascus configuration includes layers of 52100, 5160, 203E, and 15n20, folded five times for a total of 416 layers. The result is a knife blank that is as functional as it is visually striking.
