N690 XL Bowie Knife Blank - NXL08

This is the large end of the catalogue. Thick stock and real length make it a statement piece as much as a working blade.

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

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.
