Bolsters for Knife Making

Nickel and Brass Bolsters - Sturdy and Durable

Bolsters are an important component in knife making. A knife bolster assists with knife balance and control. Since the handle is lighter than the blade, the bolster offers more weight, thus balancing out the knife. A bolster can be used between the handle and the knife blade, which provides a smooth transition from the blade to the handle. A bolster also strengthens a knife, adds durability and provides a counterbalance.

In knife making, or simply replacing a bolster on a knife, a quality bolster is an important part of a knife. When handling a knife, the job of the bolster is evident as it allows for better handling of the knife and evenly distributes the weight, making knife control and use much easier.
