Polar 80 Whittler Blade, Carbon Steel

Polar Whittler blade in Carbon Steel

One of our best selling blades the Polar Whittler, in Carbon Steel.

Great, sharp blade for whittling, camp chores and general use that holds a sharp edge.

Blade is from Finland, made by Polar in 80CrV2 carbon steel.

The blade is 3 mm thick, about 22 mm high and has about 80 mm of blade.

Total length from tip to end of tang is 204 mm, the tang can be cut to fit the handle.

The Polar blades are stamped out, helping to keep the cost down.

This means you will need to file the tang and shoulders of the blade a little before the bolster will fit.

Note: if wanting the matching bolster, get the R30.

Note: This is a specialised blade for whittling softer woods, having a higher bevel angle and a thin, hard edge. This gives great control and cutting in softer woods but for general camp chores or whittling Australian harder woods, it may need a secondary microbevel added to avoid edge chipping.
