Titanium diving knife blanks

[Thierry]

Hello,
Does anyone knows where I can find Titanium diving knives blanks?
thanks

I don't think there are any to be had. I usually just buy a bar of Ti and cut a knife from it.

The ubiquitous ti "diving knives" are made in China, so you would have to search those avenues to find blanks. They are not very good knives at all imo. Titanium alloy blades with a tungsten carbide edge like CMs knife above are much better.

That looks sweet, those "rainbow knives" usually look really tacky, but that...hmmm.

Similiar. Oxygen let into the coating process gave these a cool color.

Why would you? Get H1 steel blanks for a dive knife.

talk to our resident Titanium maker Mecha - he runs a place called the Mad Science Forge and does amazing things with Ti blades

I don't know about dive knives... but daggers used to brain fish for spearfishing are found in Scubastore. They sell the blade (full tang, mind you) so you can slap some scales on it and create your own knife.

I wouldn't want to use that for DIVING, but sure I would use it for spearfishing!

OP is asking for blanks. He could always buy a full knife such as the Aqua Salt, tear it appart by breaking the handle, and then rehandle it as he see fit.

HOWEVER that seems like a waste of a perfectly good knife IMHO!!!

so i decided to make 2 from scratch, got the titanium cut with a water jet

You'll find that Ti thrashes abrasives at approx 3X the rate of steel.

And you will also find that unless special grades of titanium alloys are used, those knives will not hold an edge at all.... In my opinion!

I got knife making titanium, so will see
