N690 Knife Blank - N08 (N08)

N690 Knife Blank - N08

This blank arrives ground and hardened, which removes the two hardest steps from a knife build.

N690 balances edge life against corrosion resistance better than almost anything in its price band. It sharpens back easily and shrugs off moisture.

Certified Voestalpine steel, hand ground in our workshop, professionally heat treated by Voestalpine before it ships. That is the whole process.
