N690 Knife Blank - N27 (N27)

N690 Knife Blank - N27

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.

We buy steel direct from Voestalpine, grind each blade by hand on the belt grinder, and return the blanks to Voestalpine for heat treatment done to spec.
