N690 EDC Knife Blank - N74 (N74)

N690 EDC Knife Blank - N74

An EDC blade earns its keep by being in your pocket every day. Short enough to carry without thinking about it, stout enough to handle the jobs that come up.

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.
