N690 XL Bowie Knife Blank - NXL09

An XL blank needs a handle to match. Heavy stock, long edge, and enough presence to justify the effort.

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.
