Knives made of steel N690
Bohler N690 is a martensitic, cobalt-alloyed steel
produced by the Austrian corporation Bohler-Uddeholm. The addition of cobalt
makes the alloy structure homogeneous, and this is also facilitated by the unique
technology of rolling steel sheets in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
The blade made of this alloy has excellent cutting properties,
perfectly resists shock loads, and is perfectly sharpened at
home. The composition of this steel approximately corresponds to
Japanese VG-10, but contains more molybdenum and chromium. It is very different
high corrosion resistance and the ability to harden it to 61 HRC.
It is considered a good steel for tactical knives, which need to have
not only a resistant edge, but also the ability to withstand shock and
lateral loads (for turning and for breaking).
Many European branches, including Boker and Spyderco, make knives from this steel. Also, some
models are Benchmade and almost all are Extrema Ratio.
Chem. composition: carbon-1.09%; chromium-17.2%; manganese-0.4%; molybdenum-1.1%; silicon-0.4%; vanadium-0.1%; cobalt-1.5%
