N690 Puukko Knife Blank - N104 (N104)

N690 Puukko Knife Blank - N104

A puukko carries a straight edge and a hidden tang. That combination makes it light in the hand and easy to control for detail work in the field.

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.
