I believe N690 is relatively tough stuff, but maybe stick to slicing with it.

Agree...I gave Paul@jakeywax32 a similar knife and edge is so thin it just rolled. You could operate with this blade.

Properties are roughly similar to VG10 and 154CM.
Today's carry is a Queen serpentine jack in D2 and Delrin.

I can’t speak for the particular knife Bob but I have a boker Barlow and one of my fixed blade hunting knives in N690co and they have great edge retention. I never really take pics of it but the Barlow lives in my Ute and gets all the nasty jobs at work and only gets the occasional stone. The cudeman I’ve broken down deer and had it still shaving hair.

Congratulations to both of you and your families. I hope all are happy and healthy!
That K’roo clip is marvelous Bob. Love the grind and swedge, and a long pull to boot! Purdy.
Nice knife but sad news Ed.Going to town to mail bills. Will eat lunch at the Brass Rail. The Wagon Wheel Cafe has fallen on hard times - will be closed from now on on Tuesday and Wednesday. It's up for sale. It was a sad day this past Thursday when it was listed in the Real Estate Section of our weekly paper. Coffee for breakfast. This carry for today.

Today we spent about 4 hours at the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in East Lake, North Carolina. Unfortunately we never saw any gators, but we did see two nice sized black bears——one sleeping in the top of a 40’ pine tree and the other bolting across the road in front of us into a canal and out the other side! After we ate this evening we drove out to the Bodie Island Light Station so I could get my usual pic for this thread, but the wind was blowing so hard my knife kept falling over, so this is the best I could do.
