N690 Knife Blank - N17 (N17)

N690 Knife Blank - N17

A hardened, ground blade blank ready for handle work. The heat treatment is done and the geometry is set — everything after this is yours.

This is Böhler's cobalt-alloyed stainless. In outdoor use it holds an edge through hard work and does not pit when the knife lives in a damp sheath.

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