N690 EDC Knife Blank - N88 (N88)

N690 EDC Knife Blank - N88

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.

This is Böhler's cobalt-alloyed stainless. In outdoor use it holds an edge through hard work and does not pit when the knife lives in a damp sheath.

We buy steel direct from Voestalpine, grind each blade by hand on the belt grinder, and return the blanks to Voestalpine for heat treatment done to spec.
