N690 Tanto Knife Blank - N73 (N73)

N690 Tanto Knife Blank - N73

The tanto tip trades a fine point for strength. Where a drop point would flex or snap, the reinforced tanto geometry keeps working.

This is Böhler's cobalt-alloyed stainless. In outdoor use it holds an edge through hard work and does not pit when the knife lives in a damp sheath.

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