N690 Outdoor Knife Blank - N39 (N39)

N690 Outdoor Knife Blank - N39

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.

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.
