A blank blade, heat-treated sharpened could use more polish when the handle is fit on. Hidden tang. This is from an old lumber mill planer blade. Meant to be used. double temper, cryo deep cold treated. Hand custom acid etched both sides, water theme with walrus and Canada goose. I usually sell this in the $300 to $500 range as a finished product. Link is to my web site, please buy it there, shipping is $8 added on to the $65 dollar blade so total $73 with shipping expect 4-5 days from Alaska. https://www.milesofalaska.com/store/p86/D2_blank_hid_tang_skinner_walrus_theme.html Other blank blades as well, this link is how to buy this one from my cart.
7.5 inches long with 5 inch cutting edge, 1/8th thick 1.5 wide. Made from an industrial wood planer blade. Would make a good work knife camp heavy use hacking etc.. Rockwell 58. Nice walrus acid etch one side, Canada goose on the other side. Nice polish already sharp. This is hidden tang style so handle you drill a hole in is required.
A customer could get this as a good way to acquire a top steel knife, drill hole put your own wood on or wrap in leather or knife maker could do the artistic add on value to re-sell.
