N690 Full Tang Santoku Chef Knife Blank - NC06
This full tang santoku keeps the flat vegetable-friendly edge while giving you the simpler construction of a Western handle. The blade measures 160 mm, 295 mm overall.
Böhler N690 is the workhorse stainless of the knife world. Cobalt and vanadium give it fine grain and genuine edge retention, while 17% chromium keeps corrosion at bay in a wet kitchen.
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.
