Blade R2 (carbon steel 130mm)

The R2 blade is a blank for making a full-tang knife (full-tang translated from English - full shank - knives in which the blade shank continues until the end of the handle and usually has the same thickness as the blade). The R2 blade is made of 66Mn4 carbon steel. The length of the blank blade for the R2 knife is 130mm, the total length is 254mm. Butt thickness - 4mm, blade height - 29mm.
In addition to sampling to reduce the weight of the blade, the blank has three holes on the shank, two of which are 5.1 mm mounting holes for attaching linings, and the third is 6 mm, can be used as a lanyard. The mounting of the overlays can be carried out both with Corby ties and with the help of screw ties or mosaic pins. The R2 blade is ordered to a hardness of 57-59 HRC. Blade R2 has descents from the butt, mixing 0.4mm. The R2 blade is equipped with a small false blade on the butt and a fin to stop the thumb.
Since the R2 blade is made of carbon steel, which is prone to corrosion, a knife made from this blank must be washed well and wiped dry after use. In case of need for long-term storage, the knife blade must be lubricated with oil. The inconvenience of the low corrosion resistance of the R2 blade is compensated by the excellent cutting characteristics.
