N690 Bowie Knife Blank - N57 (N57)

N690 Bowie Knife Blank - N57

The bowie is the classic big American pattern. A long clip point gives reach and a fine tip, while the belly handles the heavy 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.

Steel sourced from Voestalpine, hand ground by our team, then heat treated professionally at the mill. Every blank arrives at working hardness.
