N690 Outdoor Knife Blank - N01
A general outdoor blade has to do everything: prepare tinder, process game, cut cord. This blank is built with that variety in mind.
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.
