Finishing a stainless dagger blank
What does the stainless dagger blank cost in Pakistan?
In Pakistan the price per blank is shown in rupees (PKR) at the top of this page. Suppliers to the knife-making hobby can order in bulk for a lower unit rate; just send the quantity on WhatsApp or by email.
What do I need to finish it?
Two handle scales of your choice, epoxy and basic tools: a drill, files or a belt sander, and fine abrasive paper. As a knife made in Pakistan with its steel guard already fitted and the mounting rivets included, the main job left is shaping the scales over the 12 cm tang.
Which handle materials suit it?
Dense hardwoods such as walnut, olive or acacia are the easiest to start with. Horn and bone look striking but need slower sanding and more care with heat.
