N690 Knife Blank - N79 (N79)

N690 Knife Blank - N79

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.

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.
