Why N690 steel is good choice for scandi blades?
N690 steel is known for its excellent edge retention, which is crucial for knives used in outdoor and survival applications. It maintains a sharp edge for an extended period, reducing the need for frequent sharpening. This steel is stainless, offering good corrosion resistance. This property is particularly beneficial for knives that may be exposed to moisture, dirt, and varying outdoor conditions, ensuring longevity and durability. N690 steel has decent toughness, meaning it can withstand hard use and resist chipping or breaking under stress. This makes it reliable for heavy-duty tasks. N690 responds well to heat treatment, it typically reaches a hardness level of around 58-60 Rockwell Hardness, which is ideal for many knife applications. And our blades already professionally hardened to 58-60 HRC. The zero edge grind of scandi knives works well with the properties of N690, resulting in a razor sharp edge that is efficient for bushcraft tasks and works very well on woods.
