Carbide Spade Drills are high-performance solid carbide cutting tools designed for precision drilling in hardened metals and demanding knife-making applications. Made in the U.S.A., these drill bits are engineered to create clean, accurate holes in tough materials such as hardened knife blades, tangs, guards, and other steel components where standard drill bits may fail.
Ideal for professional knife makers, custom builders, and metalworkers, carbide spade drills provide exceptional strength, wear resistance, and edge retention. Their solid carbide construction allows them to maintain sharpness through repeated use on difficult materials, making them an essential tool for creating or enlarging holes during knife fabrication, repair, and modification.
These drills are commonly used for automatic knife conversions, including drilling acceptor holes for coil spring tips, as well as precision work on custom blades and hardware. For best results, use light oil for lubrication and allow the carbide spade drill to cut at its own pace. Do not force the drill into the material, as proper technique will maximize tool life and produce the cleanest results.
Available in a wide range of sizes, Carbide Spade Drills provide the versatility needed for both small precision holes and larger hardware openings.
