N690 Knife Blank - N32 (N32)

N690 Knife Blank - N32

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.

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