THESE SCALES ARE NOT GROVED YOU WILL NEED TO ROUTER OR CARVE OUT THE SLOT FOR THE BLADE
We have very nice basic hardwood scales that are bigger and thicker than the average knife scale you’ll find online—because we want to give you, the knife maker, more wood to play with and more creative options for your designs. Sizes may vary, but the general size is about 2" x 6", with each half roughly 1/2" thick, so you get a sturdy, generous chunk to shape however you like. We recommend using epoxy and at least two clamps (I personally like four small clamps to keep everything snug) and always dry-fit your blades first—leave just a little room around the blade for a quality glue-up. Once the epoxy is fully cured (follow the cure time on your glue bottle), you’re ready to draw out your handle shape and either cut on a bandsaw or start your sanding adventure.

Meet your new favorite little beast: a 2 ¼ “ Straight Carving Blade (no handle) built to carve, hold an edge, and beg to be stroked with a diamond emulsion.
Why this blade? Quick facts:
Blade length: 1-5/8"
Style: Straight carving — clean lines, clean cuts
Steel: CPM 3V — tool-grade toughness with real edge retention
Heat treatment: Cryogenic quench — pushes the steel’s toughness into overdrive
Hardness: Rockwell 60–63 — harder than typical carving knives, yet still user-friendly to sharpen
Stropping: Works with any compound; we prefer Diamond Emulsions for peak polish
What sets it apart:
CPM 3V is a cryo-friendly, high-toughness powder steel. With the cryogenic quench applied, this blade resists chips and cracks under hard use, so it keeps slicing even when the chips are flying (literally).
Rockwell 60–63 is the sweet spot for carvers who want edge life without the drama of ultra-brittle steels. You get a razor edge that holds up longer between touch-ups but can still be reprofilied and sharpened by hand without calling in a blacksmith.
No handle means versatility. Fit it to your custom scales, lathe-turned pommel, or whatever quirky handle project you've been saving for a rainy Sunday. This is a blade blank made for makers.
Sharpening and edge care:
Regular sharpening is straightforward. If you like silky stropping results, diamond emulsions are our go-to — they speed polish, equalize micro-serrations, and bring the edge to a finer, longer-lasting keen.
If you prefer traditional compounds, the steel plays nicely with them too. Stropping with green, white, or red compounds will give excellent results; diamond simply accelerates perfection.
Who this blade is for:
Carving purists who demand toughness and edge life
Makers and custom builders who want a high-performance blank to clad in their own handle designs
Woodcarvers, whittlers, and anyone who loves a blade that behaves like a workhorse but finishes like a showpiece
Bottom line: This 2 1/4" CPM 3V straight carving blade with a cryogenic quench is the practical show-off of small blades: tough, long-lived, and receptive to sharpening and stropping rituals. No handle? Exactly — you get to make it yours.
Ready to build the handle of your dreams or stash it as a premium blade blank? This one’s built to be earned.
