Description
What a find! Surplus blade blanks from Windlass are a rare sight, each one hand-forged from high carbon steel right at the forge. You can see the story etched into the steel,the small irregularities, patches of surface rust, and storage scratches all speak to the blade’s journey before it reached your hands. These blanks come without a sharpened edge, leaving the shaping and finishing entirely up to you, just as a blacksmith would have done in days past. The tapered full tang, partially threaded for a secure handle fit, measures 14″ overall with an 8-1/2″ blade length. These blanks hold great promise for reenactors, collectors, or anyone eager to craft a blade with traditional roots and a personal touch. Fun fact: Scottish dirk blade blanks often feature a broad, flat profile with a central ridge, a design born from the Highlanders’ need for a weapon suited to both cutting and thrusting in close-quarter combat.
