N690 Full Tang European Santoku Chef Knife Blank - NC12
The santoku profile in a full tang layout. Flat edge and compact length, built for scales rather than a hidden tang ferrule. The blade measures 185 mm, 310 mm overall.
N690 hits the balance most makers want: it takes a keen edge, holds it through a service, and sharpens back without a fight. The high chromium content makes it forgiving around acidic food and standing water.
The steel comes straight from Voestalpine. Profiling and grinding happen on our benches; hardening and tempering go back to the mill, where the heat treat is done to spec rather than by eye.
