BÖHLER N690

BÖHLER N690 is a premium cobalt-alloyed stainless steel that makes an outdoor knife easy to love: lasting sharpness, high corrosion resistance and very little routine care. A strong all-round choice for people who want to use their knife, not fuss over it.

Böhler combines carbon and chromium with cobalt, molybdenum and vanadium to build N690’s useful blend of wear resistance and stainless performance. Kizlyar Supreme turns that quality alloy into a complete outdoor tool through our heat treatment, cutting geometry and practical model design.

KIZLYAR SUPREME HEAT TREATMENT
Our controlled hardening, nitrogen quenching and tempering bring out the cutting character that makes N690 such a rewarding working steel. We select the hardness for the model: the current Forester specification, for example, lists 61–62 HRC. The goal is sharpness that lasts, backed by a blade designed for real outdoor work.

WHERE N690 MAKES SENSE
From camp food preparation to hunting and fishing, N690 combines enjoyable cutting with easy ownership. Kizlyar Supreme pairs it with purpose-designed blades, secure handles and practical carry systems, so the steel’s strengths work for you as part of the whole knife.

PRACTICALLY MAINTENANCE-FREE IN EVERYDAY USE
N690 asks very little of its owner: clean after use, dry before storage and get on with your next outing. After salt water or acidic food, rinse promptly; for long storage, a thin film of suitable protective oil adds peace of mind. Use food-safe oil for food preparation, and avoid storing any knife damp in its sheath.
