About N690 Steel
N690 steel is known for its ability to hold a sharp edge over extended use. This means that EDC knives made with N690 can maintain their sharpness longer than many other types of steel, reducing the need for frequent sharpening. With a high chromium content, N690 steel has excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. This is particularly important for EDC knives, which are often exposed to the elements, moisture, and harsh conditions. This characteristic ensures that the knife remains reliable and functional over time. N690 steel combines hardness and toughness, allowing EDC knives to withstand heavy use without chipping or breaking. This durability is essential for a tool that is expected to perform in various situations, from mundane daily tasks to more demanding outdoor activities. With its mix of elements like vanadium and molybdenum, N690 steel delivers a well-rounded performance that blends the benefits of stainless steel with high-carbon steel properties, leading to a stronger and more resilient blade. Overall, N690 steel provides an excellent combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, easy of maintenance and durability, making it a top choice for EDC knives. Whether for daily utility, outdoor adventures, or collection purposes, knives made from N690 steel are designed to deliver consistent performance and reliability.
