N690 Tanto Knife Blank - N77 (N77)

N690 Tanto Knife Blank - N77

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

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.
