Experience has taught us that there’s nothing like digging in and getting started. Even, if you’ve never made a knife before you can try your crafting skills with simple or makeshift tools! The thrill of carving, grinding, shaping, and buffing your own handle is unbelievably satisfying. Be proud of what you can create even if the end result is less than perfect.
The KATSURA AUS-10 Forged Small Santoku Knife Blank comes with a blade blank only, allowing for a design-it-yourself handle made from the material of your choice. We recommend using Micarta, softwood, hardwood,purple heart wood, metal or even paracord!

Customize your very own knife handle by using wood, metal, Micarta, or even leather to create a cool accent. Give your Japanese Santoku Knife a unique personality by hand finishing all the parts. BONUS: Includes 3 sets of metal pins and a Mosaic center pin.
- ENGINEERED TO PERFECTION – Unparalleled design, Katsura knife blade blanks are made with a Japanese AUS-10 Core reinforced with 2 Layers of Forged Steel, 60+ Rockwell hardness.

- WOODWORKING PROJECT – Go ‘old school’ and rivet together your own handle and blade tang. Making knife handles is easier than you think, even if all you have is a sharp pocket knife and some scraps of softwood. Draw your dream knife handle on a piece of wood and carve it to the finished shape. No logo on the blade, because only the artist should write their name on their work.
- PROFESSIONAL SANTOKU KNIFE – Santoku translates as the “3 virtues”, referring to the 3 types of cuts suited to this blade – slicing, dicing, and mincing. The 5-inch blade has a razor-sharp edge that makes it perfect for fine cuts. Create your own ergonomic handle out of any material around the perfectly balanced 3 pin handle.
