I am looking for some good quality knife blanks. I know of the condor tool knife blanks, have done 2 of these so far. And the green river blanks.

Is there any other reputable blank out there?

I love doing modifications and handles for now as I am limited to making knives. I am in the process of building the file jig and have some steel just waiting. But for now blanks are my go to.

If you have any recommendations, production or custom blanks let me know


Thanks

Why not reach out to some of the custom makers here and see if they offer any of their knives as blanks, or would be willing to make a blank of your design.
Especially the second part of that scenario is likely.

Aside from your design, I know that John of JK Knives has offered some of his knives as blanks to be finished by the end customer on a few occasions.

Good luck.
 
Enzo is made by Lauri, and their blanks are also great, and inexpensive. Many Scandi brands sell blanks. Check out Brisa, DLT and Ragweed.


Another great deal are the finished damascus blades from Alabama damascus.
 
Enzo does have some great blanks with either a hidden tang or full tang options. They have a few Damascus options as well.

Helle is another one worth looking at.
 
There are also the Spyderco Mules if you want to play with some different steels.
 
And don't forget about the Fallkniven blanks! Full tang models meant to take scales (pinned, glued, you name it). I don't think it gets any better than laminated VG10! Slap a set of scales of whichever material you want, and you are good to go. However, they are not cheap by any means and once you add up the blank, scales, sheath, etc... you realise that an off the shelf Fallkniven comes out cheaper!

Good luck finding them. Last I checked they no longer offered blade blanks.
 
There is a knifemaking supply place in Davis, Oklahoma that sells a wide variety of blanks. You can find them with a quick internet search.

Being from Spain, I usually buy everything (knife related) online. Sometimes in online knife stores, sometimes directly on Ebay... One of the Sites I have dealt with in the past is Knifesupply... and they had Fallkniven knife blanks. Indeed, I have just checked (like right now) and they have a WMI blank (solid VG10, not laminated) in stock. I have seen F1, S1 and A1s before... but they don't seem to have any right now.
