Custom 4" Skinny Knife (1095 High Carbon Steel)

The 4" Skinny Knife is cut from 1/8" thick 1095 high carbon steel, known for excellent sharpness and edge retention once properly heat-treated. The blade features a 2-inch cutting edge with a slim, lightweight handle profile designed for control, compact EDC builds, and precision utility work.

This knife is available in two versions:

• Unfinished — allowing you to grind, heat-treat, sharpen, and finish it yourself
• Finished — professionally hardened and sharpened, ready for use

Ideal for makers, knife hobbyists, and custom builders who want either a clean starting profile or a ready-to-use compact blade.
