N690 Knife Blank - N20 (N20)

N690 Knife Blank - N20

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

Böhler N690 is the stainless most outdoor makers settle on. Cobalt and vanadium give it fine grain and real edge retention, and 17% chromium means it survives a wet pack.

Steel sourced from Voestalpine, hand ground by our team, then heat treated professionally at the mill. Every blank arrives at working hardness.
