N690 Scandi Knife Blank - NS02 (NS02)

N690 Scandi Knife Blank - NS02

A scandi grind puts the whole bevel on the board when you sharpen, so it is the easiest geometry to maintain in the field with a simple stone.

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.
