Rev,you can appreciate this.

440 c is a high carbon stainless,the carbon is what makes it heat treatable,but you probably know that already.


My stepdad used to use 440 but has changed and I will post what he using when I get the info but he says he can get the blades harder without getting brittle and hold an edge betterbut it is still stainless,so it doesn't rust.


My stepdad makes these(GMMAT,I pm'd you)

This is my daughters knife.
