N690 Knife Blank - N45 (N45)

N690 Knife Blank - N45

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.

Every blank starts as certified Voestalpine stock. We profile and hand grind it in our own workshop, then send it back to Voestalpine for professional heat treatment.
