Camillus Knifemaking Knife Blade Folding BL609 - Rough Unmarked WIP Blade for Custom Knife Makers

BL609 is a folding knife blade component designed for knifemakers and DIY enthusiasts who want to customize a vintage, unfinished blade. Sourced from the Camillus Knife Factory before its closure, these work-in-progress blades come in various stages of production and are presented in very rough condition.

• Length & blade: Overall 2 7/8" with a 2 1/4" blade, offering a compact foundation for a small-folder project.
• Markings: Not marked, providing a clean slate for your own branding or engraved personalization.
• Origin: From the Camillus Knife Factory, produced prior to the company going out of business.
• Condition: Work-in-progress in very rough condition, with finishing work required by the user to reach a usable state.
• Intended Use: Ideal as a donor blade for DIY folding knife builds or as a learning piece for knifemaking practice (grinding, sharpening, blade fitting, and handle integration).
• Material: Blade material not specified; suitable for crafters who plan to identify or select their own steel during fabrication.

This BL609 blade offers a unique opportunity to engage hands-on with a historic manufacturing artifact while developing essential knifemaking skills. It’s a practical choice for hobbyists seeking an affordable, authentic starting point to refine grinding, honing, and assembly techniques, and for builders who want to tailor a folding knife’s geometry and aesthetics from the ground up.
