About N690 Steel:
N690 steel is known for its ability to hold a sharp edge over extended use. This means that 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 outdoor 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 the blade 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. Whether it's for everyday carry, hunting, camping, survival, or bushcrafting, N690 steel is versatile enough to meet the demands of various tasks. Its balanced properties make it suitable for a wide range of cutting applications, from fine detail work to heavy-duty chopping and slicing. Overall, the combination of excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, durability, and versatility makes N690 steel an exceptional option for EDC, hunting, outdoor, and bushcraft knives, meeting the demands of users across different scenarios and environments. Our professional heat treatment process enhances the steel properties, resulting in blades that exhibit exceptional hardness, toughness, and resilience, perfect for a variety of applications.
