The Western Hunter Tapered Tang Knife Kit Series is designed for knife makers who appreciate classic hunting knife styling, premium materials, and exceptional balance. Featuring a tapered blade and tapered tang construction, the Western Hunter delivers reduced weight, improved handling, and the refined feel expected from a high-quality custom hunting knife.
Built around a robust 9Cr13CoMoV stainless steel blade, this fixed blade design offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Each blade is heat treated and cryo-treated to achieve a hardness of 58-60 HRC for dependable field performance. The satin finish provides a clean, professional appearance that complements both traditional and modern handle materials.
The Western Hunter features a 5.20 inch blade, 10.50 inch overall length, and a slip-over stainless steel guard that creates a classic hunting knife profile. The full tapered tang includes six handle attachment holes and comes complete with stainless steel pinstock for assembly. Each kit is packaged in a gift box and is available as either a blade blank kit or a complete kit with premium hardwood handle scales.
Whether you are building a personal hunting knife, creating a custom gift, or adding a handcrafted blade to your collection, the Western Hunter provides an enjoyable knife-making experience and produces a finished knife that can be appreciated for generations.
