The Whiplash DIY Knife Kit is a compact and rugged fixed-blade design crafted for makers who demand quality and performance in a small frame. Made in the USA, this Damascus drop point blade blank is forged from a 416-layer steel combination for durability, edge retention, and striking visual character.
The Whiplash features a hollow-ground blade that measures 2.625 inches in length and 1.0 inch in width, with an overall length of 6.6875 inches. Precision ground on both sides, it offers a balanced profile ideal for personal carry knives. The tang includes two 0.125-inch holes for handle pins (stainless pinstock included), and two 0.093-inch holes are pre-drilled for optional custom bolsters (not included).
The blade is heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 56–58 RC, delivering both toughness and cutting performance right out of the box. Whether you're outfitting it with hardwood, synthetic, or antler scales, this USA-forged Damascus blank is a solid foundation for a standout custom blade.
