Great price I bought it probably 4 years ago and I still haven't made anything with it luckily it's beautiful enough to just sit there! Cheers Review: Not worth the money - This steel blank is not worth what they are asking. When I received it, it had deep gouges in the metal which took forever to sand out. The metal isn't heat treated. It is very soft. You will have to do alot of sanding and you will most definitely have to heat treat. Do not waste your money. ## Features - Versatile: Ideal billet for crafting high-quality knife blades and other cutting tools. - Durable Material: Constructed from premium steel alloy for exceptional strength and edge retention. - Precise Dimensions: 9.5 inches Approximate Overall Length, 1 3/4 inches Approximate Width, Approximately 4mm Thick (1/8 inch) - Workability: Can be easily shaped, ground, and heat-treated to desired specifications. - Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of knife-making techniques and styles. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HRJR3CK | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #664,921 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #2,491 in Fixed Blade Hunting Knives | | Blade Edge | Plain Edge | | Blade Length | 1.75 Inches | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Blade Shape | Straight Back | | Brand | Whole Earth Supply | | Brand Name | Whole Earth Supply | | Color | Ladder Damascus | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 25 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Right Hand | | Handle Material | No Handle | | Included Components | Steel Billet | | Is Product Cordless | No | | Item Length | 9.5 Inches | | Item Shape | Rectangular Prism | | Manufacturer | Whole Earth Supply | | Model Name | Billet Parent 1 | | Model Number | Billet Parent 1 | | Part Number | Billet Parent 1 | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Keep Dry | | Recommended Uses For Product | Hunting | | Reusability | Reusable | | Special Feature | Various Patterns Available | | Special Features | Various Patterns Available | | Style | Traditional | | Theme | Hunting | | UPC | 763616477955 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Hunting - **Brand:** Whole Earth Supply - **Special Feature:** Various Patterns Available - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Included Components:** Steel Billet - **Handle Material:** No Handle - **Color:** Ladder Damascus - **Blade Material:** Alloy Steel - **Style:** Traditional - **Blade Length:** 1.75 Inches ## Images ![Billet for Making Knife Blades (Ladder Damascus) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cKbJEACgL.jpg) ![Billet for Making Knife Blades (Ladder Damascus) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81MLFu34r4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality!

Not looking forward to sanding the blank flat. ## Frequently Bought Together - Whole Earth Supply Billet for Making Knife Blades (Ladder Damascus) - Hotop 24 Pcs Brass Rods Round Brass Pins for Knife Handles Assorted Diameter 1.5-8 mm for 100 mm Length Lathe Bar Rod Stock for Drift Punches Shaft DIY Craft Model Plane Ship Car - Coolneon 3/16 inch Brass Rods 3/16 x 12 in, 6 Pcs for Knife Making Knife Handles Pins Stock Knife Scale Solid Round Brass Rod Dowel Rivet Gunsmithing Crafts Modeling Hobby --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5155946-billet-for-making-knife-blades-ladder-damascus](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5155946-billet-for-making-knife-blades-ladder-damascus) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-12*
