Shop DIY blade blanks and knife kits for building your own fixed blade knives, folding knives, hatchets and tomahawks at the bench. Choose from 440C, AUS8 and 154CM stainless, 1075 high carbon and USA Damascus steels, with replacement blades and handle scales stocked for select kits.
Most of the kits in this section are fixed blade builds, and the DIY fixed blade knife kits page covers full tang and hidden tang designs. The majority offer handle combos in hardwoods such as Purpleheart, Lacewood, Canarywood and Mahogany. The Modern Tactical arrives as a complete kit with a .200-inch thick 440C full tang blade, pre-milled black G10 handles, handle fasteners and a padded gift box. The Ace Gut Hook puts an integrated gut hook on a 3.25-inch USA Damascus blade.
For pocket knives, the DIY folding knife kits category holds 28 builds, among them the GPC-1000 locking liner, Bobcat lockback, Panther bearing flipper, Lineman Trapper slipjoint and DDR3-BL button lock. The FL005 and FL006 frame locks pair a 440C blade with Cocobolo Dymondwood scales, the AO-001 is an AUS8 assisted opening tanto with a reversible pocket clip, and the Cut-Throat straight razor starts from a USA Damascus blade blank. Chopping tools are gathered in DIY axe and hatchet kits, home to the Camp Hawk tomahawk, The Chopper, the Dress Hatchet, two Squire hatchet blanks and a pair of Ulu Axe kits.
Blades and scales for several kits can be replaced through DIY knife kit replacements, which carries AUS8 blades for the DDR3, handle scales for kits like the FL005 and Letterman, and a stainless steel template for shaping GPC-1000 scales.
