M390 Knife Blank - M09

This blank arrives ground and hardened, which removes the two hardest steps from a knife build.

M390 sits at the top of the stainless ladder. It goes remarkably far between sharpenings and resists corrosion in conditions that would mark lesser steels.

The steel comes straight from Voestalpine. Profiling and grinding happen on our benches; hardening and tempering go back to the mill.
