N690 EDC Knife Blank - N11 (N11)

N690 EDC Knife Blank - N11

Everyday carry is about compromise done well: enough blade to be useful, little enough to disappear on the belt. This blank sits in that sweet spot.

N690 balances edge life against corrosion resistance better than almost anything in its price band. It sharpens back easily and shrugs off moisture.

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