like this but without the grip, can you help me guys?
 
Search for knife blanks. Then you can grind the edge you want and give it your own handle, or jab it into a stick if you want a spear.
 
Sorry, your pciture is really hard to make out. I think I see some holes in the handle, that's usually called a 'skeletonized' handle. Is that what you were after?

In addition, you might search for blade shapes to get a general idea of the terms used for different shapes.
You might search for blade grinds to find the terms used for different grinds.

A cutout to rest your finger on is called a 'finger choil' or 'finger grooves' (in the handle).

You can use the bladeforums search function, browse some threads or use google.

I hope I was of some help.
 
As already stated, google blade blanks or knife kits, there are tons of outfits that sell them.
 
I’m not sure if you want an actual unsharpened blank or just a skeletonized handle. There are plenty of companies like Benchmade and ESEE that sell knives with skeletonized handles. You can either make your own scales or buy some paracord and wrap it.
 
Where can I buy a naked woman? I just had to post this. Lol
I got mine for $50 bucks in front of a judge. It's the after costs that get you.
As to the subject, my advice, get a knife that needs a new handle and "go to town" on it

A blade kit and a skeletonized handle are two entirely different things. Its not all at clear which the OP is after, so suggesting one or the other may be sending him or her on a wild goose chase.

A anonymuser12 , the first blade you showed has a "skeletonized handle". Just a bare metal functioning handle with holes in it. jacksterp jacksterp also showed a blade with a skeletonized handle.

The second blade you showed has a "hollow handle." Its not really hollow, a rod or tang is inside it. If the outside could be removed, the rod or tang left isn't usable as a handle.

Many blade blanks or kits will have the same type of unusable rod or tang, that you attach scales ("grips") to.

Google the ESEE Izula for another skeletonized handle, IF that is what you are looking for.

Or, look at the Cold Steel Drop Forged Bowie or Drop Forged Survivalist. Those do not have grips/scales, and they do not have a skeletonized handle.

Either way, if you can tell us which of those you are looking for we can set you on the right track, insread of just making suggestions for things you aren't looking for.
 
Going by the way a fixed blade is constructed,
A separate handle part is either attached and heavily built up
Along it's knife tang.
Creating a handle of A full tang blade, is far less complicated.
One either attaches suitable slabs of whatever for scales on each side
or carefully cord wrap the full length of the tang.
The entire blade of a full tang knife weights more than stick tang.
It is also structurally more robust than a skinny stick or partial tang.

And here's the problem, most sawback survival knives are not full tang.
One would be hard pressed to find sawtooth blanks.
By far, most fixed blade blanks available are rarely made to appear like flamboyant Hollywood types.
Btw, There are affordable ready made full tang hollow handle knives to consider...

I strongly recomend that you don't purchase either of the 2 knives. What's your plan for the knife? Urban or wilderness survival?

There seems to be continuing debate, and this isn't probably the time or place....but many claim that the stick tang shown above is a full tang (like the full tang at the top), just not a full exposed tang.

But that pedantry will, no doubt, just serve to confuse our new friend. :)

Arrrgh, you're absolutely right.
And it's a good point too!
I had completely missed out The descriptive term - "exposed full tang knife" .
And yes, a full length "hidden tang" would also make such a knife a full tang as well.

Either of which two knives? o_O The ones the OP posted? I am with you on that, hopefully we can suggest something better....once we get a better idea of that the OP is looking for.
