N690 Outdoor Knife Blank - N69 (N69)

N690 Outdoor Knife Blank - N69

A general outdoor blade has to do everything: prepare tinder, process game, cut cord. This blank is built with that variety in mind. A full tang knife blank, so the scales pin straight to the steel.

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.

The steel comes straight from Voestalpine. Profiling and grinding happen on our benches; hardening and tempering go back to the mill.
