N690 Full Tang Rounded Chef Knife Blank - NC09
A rounded profile softens the tip for safer, faster board work. Without a fine point to catch, the blade rocks and pushes freely through everyday prep.
This is Böhler's cobalt-alloyed stainless, and it has earned its reputation in kitchen work. Fine carbide structure means a clean, sharp edge; the chromium content means you can leave it wet without regret.
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 — the same furnaces the steel came from.
