Narrow blade options?

[JTknives]

I have come into possession of a limited amount of T1 plainer blades that are made in Japan. I am looking for profile options that will fit this stock width. I think I’m looking at around 1” blank width. Some might be wider but thy get resharpened down to about that width before being pulled from service. My first thought was puukkos and marking knives but wanted to see if any of you guys had other ideas. These would be available on my site.

thanks guys - JT

Another couple options that could be 1” width would be a bird and trout or paring knife depending on thickness.

Kwaikens would be very cool

I make these 3,5" user knives.
They are 23mm wide, an inch is 25,4mm.
Very handy knives/EDC.
I make them with an inside front pocket sheath.

I will check but I’m thinking the stock is around. Actually no guessing, I will just go measure one lol. Thy measure .152 so around .150 after a kiss on the surface grinder.

Puukkos and also the narrower old fashioned puukko profile (see the Mora 106 blade, for example). If you do some research into pre-WW2 puukkos you are likely to find good stuff.

That's 3,8mm thick. 3mm would be good for a 3,5" user

4.5 inch long blade and 1 inch wide on ricasso

Re: my comment on puukkos earlier. I've been looking for some blades in the 80-100mm length, 3-4mm thickness and width below 20mm. The Mora 106 blade is a thin version of that (might be 2.5mm). It's a woodwork blade primarily but pretty tidy.

It’s going to be a pain in the bottom to get these blades set up on the plasma cutter but I hope a solution can be found.

I like these scapel looking blades. I have made one and call it a tactical butter knife. You can probably make two with 1" stock. Might be a bit thick though. Interested to see what you come up with.

For cheap and easy any kiridashi is hard to beat. 1" width is a good size. Make the tip angle 45° and it has a 1" edge good for a woodworking knife. Make it a longer tip at 30° and it has a 2" edge which is good for shop tasks. Make it 20° amd you have a 3" long kitchen slicer/parer.

Yes, I like kiridashi as a marking knife

Scandi style knife blades, filet knife blades, oyster shuckers.

Yanagi or filleting knife are good options indeed

These are a little less than 1'' - great size for EDC:
