N690 Bowie Knife Blank - N76 (N76)

N690 Bowie Knife Blank - N76

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. A full tang knife blank, so the scales pin straight to the steel.

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.

Every blank starts as certified Voestalpine stock. We profile and hand grind it in our own workshop, then send it back to Voestalpine for professional heat treatment.
