N690 Full Tang Kiritsuke Chef Knife Blank - NC07
A kiritsuke in full tang form. The angled tip and long flat edge carry over, but the build is a straightforward scale-and-pin job.
This is Böhler's cobalt-alloyed stainless, and it has earned its reputation in kitchen work. Fine carbide structure means a clean, sharp edge; the chromium content means you can leave it wet without regret.
We buy our steel direct from Voestalpine, grind each blade by hand on the belt grinder, and return the finished blanks to Voestalpine for professional heat treatment. No guesswork, no garage quenching.
