N690 Bowie Knife Blank - N16 (N16)

N690 Bowie Knife Blank - N16

This bowie profile carries real length. It suits a display piece or a serious camp knife, and the clip point keeps the tip usable for detail work. Full tang construction.

Böhler N690 is the stainless most outdoor makers settle on. Cobalt and vanadium give it fine grain and real edge retention, and 17% chromium means it survives a wet pack.

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