N690 Scandi Knife Blank - NS06 (NS06)

N690 Scandi Knife Blank - NS06

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.

N690 balances edge life against corrosion resistance better than almost anything in its price band. It sharpens back easily and shrugs off moisture.

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