N690 Full Tang Kitchen Knife Blank - NC20 (NC20)

N690 Full Tang Kitchen Knife Blank - NC20

Full tang construction is the straightforward route for a first build: two scales, a few pins, and a knife that will outlast its maker.

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.

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.
