N690 Outdoor Knife Blank - N36 (N36)

N690 Outdoor Knife Blank - N36

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

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

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.
