The Reef Shark Knife Kit is a compact, American-made Damascus utility knife blank designed for custom builders who want bold performance in a compact frame. Crafted from premium carbon steel Damascus and hollow-ground on both sides, this fixed blade is ready for your custom handle work. With its compact profile and razor-sharp edge, it performs beautifully as a dedicated skinning tool or compact utility blade. Whether you're building it for daily carry, your custom lineup, or a one-of-a-kind gift project, the Reef Shark is built to impress.
With an overall length of 6.875 inches and a 2.625-inch cutting edge, this model strikes the balance between control and cutting efficiency. The blade measures 1.00 inch wide and includes two 0.125-inch through-holes in the tang for fast and reliable handle mounting. Stainless steel pinstock is included. You can easily modify the tang holes to fit larger pinstock or threaded fasteners to suit your design.
