N690 XL Bowie Knife Blank - NXL10 (NXL10)

N690 XL Bowie Knife Blank - NXL10

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.

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.
