The Reef Shark Knife Kit is a compact, versatile knife-making project designed for craftsmen who appreciate quality materials, practical blade designs, and the satisfaction of building a custom knife from the ground up. Whether you're creating a dependable skinning knife, a compact utility blade, or a one-of-a-kind gift, the Reef Shark provides an excellent foundation for your next build.
Featuring a 2.625-inch blade and an overall length of 6.875 inches, the Reef Shark offers outstanding control and maneuverability in a compact package. The hollow-ground blade profile delivers excellent cutting performance, while the full tang construction provides the strength and durability demanded by serious knife makers and users alike.
Available in your choice of USA-made 1075 high carbon steel or premium USA-made Damascus steel, the Reef Shark allows builders to select the blade material that best fits their project goals. Both blade options arrive heat treated and ready for handle installation, grinding, shaping, and finishing.
Every Reef Shark kit includes stainless steel pinstock and features precision-drilled tang holes for secure handle attachment. Builders can choose from a blade blank and pinstock configuration or select one of several complete combo kits that include premium hardwood handle scales. Available handle materials include Bubinga, Canarywood, Curly Maple, Lacewood, Mahogany, Purpleheart, Walnut, and Yellowheart.
The Reef Shark is equally suited for first-time builders looking to develop their knife-making skills and experienced craftsmen seeking a fast, enjoyable weekend project. Its compact size, practical design, and wide range of material options make it a popular choice for personal use, custom knife collections, gifts, and small-batch knife production.
