N690 Knife Blank - N81 (N81)

N690 Knife Blank - N81

This blank arrives ground and hardened, which removes the two hardest steps from a knife build. A full tang knife blank, so the scales pin straight to the steel.

N690 balances edge life against corrosion resistance better than almost anything in its price band. It sharpens back easily and shrugs off moisture.

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.
