Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the DASHWAY blank blade come with a handle?

A: No — this is a blank blade only (no handle included). The full-tang design is specifically intended for DIY knife makers who want to craft and attach their own custom handle using wood, resin, horn, or any other material of their choosing.

Q: What type of steel is used in these blank blades?

A: Each DASHWAY blank blade is constructed from 3-layer composite steel with a 10Cr15CoMov high-carbon steel core hardened to 60±2 HRC. The outer layers provide added toughness and rust resistance, while the core delivers an extremely sharp, long-lasting edge.

Q: What edge angle are these blank blades ground to?

A: The blades come factory-ground at 15 degrees per side (30° inclusive), which is the traditional Japanese single-bevel-inspired acute angle that delivers exceptional slicing performance. You can further refine or reprofile the edge with your preferred sharpening tools.

Q: Which blade style should I choose for general kitchen use?

A: For an all-purpose kitchen knife, the 8.2-inch Kiritsuke or the 7-inch Santoku are the most versatile choices, handling slicing, dicing, and chopping tasks with ease. The Nakiri is best for vegetables, while the Honesuki excels at poultry work.
