PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Timberwood Chef Blank continues a tradition rooted in raw Damascus blade making, where bladesmiths forge full length steel from tip through handle without attaching any separate scales at all. Chef knife blanks like this one give experienced makers a genuine starting point rather than a finished tool ready for kitchen use. The raw hammered texture across this blank reflects real forging work rather than a smooth factory grind applied after the fact. Full tang construction runs the entire length of the piece, meaning the same Damascus steel forms both the cutting edge and the grip section. This approach traces back to a period before synthetic or wood handle scales became common, when smiths simply shaped the tang itself into a usable grip. The Timberwood Chef Blank keeps that older tradition alive for makers who want full creative control. Every batch we forge reflects that same hand built approach rather than mass production shortcuts.
Introduction
If you are looking for a genuine chef knife blank built entirely from Damascus steel, the Timberwood Chef Blank gives you real forged material to shape into your own kitchen tool. At 11 inches overall, with a 7 inch blade and 4 inch handle tang, this blank offers substantial length for a full size chef knife project. The raw hammered and textured finish across the entire piece shows the forging process clearly rather than hiding it under polish. Full tang construction means the Damascus steel runs continuously from the cutting edge through the grip section without a break. This blank suits experienced makers who want to add their own final shaping, sharpening, or even wrap the tang in leather or cord. Unlike a finished chef knife, this piece arrives ready for your personal touch rather than a completed kitchen tool. Browse more raw material options in our knife making blank collection.
Timberwood Chef Blank Blade
This chef knife blank is forged entirely from Damascus steel, giving the full length a genuine layered wave pattern once properly etched by the final maker. The raw hammered texture across the blade and handle tang reflects authentic forging work rather than a smooth machine finish applied afterward. Full tang construction means there is no separate handle attachment point, since the same continuous steel forms both the cutting edge and grip area. This blank is intended purely for knife making projects, where the final shaping, sharpening, and any handle wrapping happens after purchase. Since this arrives as raw forged material, handle it according to standard bladesmithing safety practices during any further shaping or grinding work. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves if you plan to grind, polish, or reshape any section of the blank. Store this blank in a dry place to prevent surface rust from forming before your project is complete. Keep it away from children given the sharp, unfinished edges typical of raw forged blanks.

FAQs
What is a chef knife blank used for?
A chef knife blank gives makers raw forged steel to shape into their own finished kitchen knife. It arrives unsharpened and unfinished, ready for personal customization.
Does this blank include a handle?
No separate handle is included since this is a full-tang Damascus piece. The same steel forms both the blade and the grip section throughout.
Is this blank suitable for beginners?
This blank suits makers with some bladesmithing experience already, since further shaping, sharpening, and finishing work is required before use.
What does raw hammered texture mean on this blade?
It means the surface shows genuine forging marks rather than a polished factory finish. This texture reflects the actual hammer work during forging.
Can I attach wood scales to this blank later?
Since this blank has an integral Damascus steel handle rather than a bolt on tang, adding separate wood scales is not the intended design.
Let customers speak for us
I'm very pleased with this tent after having it for two years I've been in the rain I've been in the snow and it's held up pretty good but the cover that covers it did not hold up that good but the tent is perfect
Really enjoy the awning. Easy setup and got a little rain on the first trip. Easy to adjust for the run off. Very happy with the purchase!
I am one of the earliest customers Astrodome, I bought it and didn’t set it up for almost a year. By the time we set it up, we were blown away by the beauty of this space we purchased it on a mountain ledge in our glamping retreat in Lake County California two hours north of San as much as I love this space there are definitely some challenges with it in our location. It might work better than other locations, but we have had problems with the stakes, slipping and collapsing in the ground beneath and with the prevailing winds, it did stay up and it stays dry, even in tornadoes, but because the wind hits it from One Direction coming from the coast, this is definitely been a challenge for us we are going to try adding some weight inside it. The guests absolutely love this space keep in mind that with those skylights it’s going to get hot in the summertime but what’s nice is in the winter. It heats up almost passive solar. it’s also wonderful with a woodstove. A very cost effective alternative to a geodesic dome! If you want to experience it stay in ours, on Hipcamp.
I bought one of these at Scheels and absolutely love it. Great design, has everything you would ever need in a first aid/trauma/survival kit. Have one in all of my vehicles now. These guys truly thought of everything
A complete coverage of possibilities for my project and needs.
I love my new tent stove. Costumer service was also attentive and great to work with. Thank you.
The mounts work perfect with the truck bed rack I have on. Thank you for the excellent line of communication. You guys never kept me in the dark. I will ordering from you guys again.
I was wondering if you are able to sell just two extra mounts or do they just come in a set of six.
The color was even better in person. For well, looks well made and was easy to fold up and put into the carrying case. There was a bunch of colored plastic pieces from manufacturing on the mat, but I was able to vacuum it right up so be careful pulling it out.
Although it took a little extra time the delay very of my OVS Truck Topper was great. Good price too!
Fully engaged with customer, helped me get the crossbar I needed on time!
Product worked out great for my rack setup.
Order was delayed due to manufacturer delays, but my questions were answered and expectations on timing reset along the way. Cross bars were in perfect condition and work great!
I was in the market for a 3/4 length roof rack for my 4Runner as I wanted an upgrade from the OEM rails but still wanted to retain a somewhat OEM look. I am very happy that I went with the Sherpa Needle. It is a high quality rack with the best install method out of all the racks I looked at. I like that it is designed so you don’t have to deal with a mess of silicone when mounting. It is also nice that the fairing sits just above the roof instead of resting on it so that the paint does not get scratched. I was worried about wind noise because of this but I am happy to say there is no added wind noise at all.
I am also glad I purchased this rack through Live More Outside. I shopped around and they had the best pricing considering I was able to get a discount code, shipping was free, and they don’t charge sales tax. Shipping was prompt and I received the rack sooner than I thought I would.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and I will definitely come back to Live More Outside as I continue to build my rig.
By far one of the best customer service! Nathan has been a huge help on any questions and quick to respond! Live more outside is top notch. We are getting ready to hit our first outing with our new RTT. Cant wait to test it out. We also just purchased a 270 awning. I found one on another website but wanted to keep my business with live more outside. Nathan price matched and beat their price! We will continue to keep our business with this company!
