Hello Stephen,

440C Stainless steel is the type of  steel for this knife. It is  famous for its high corrosion resistant, wear resistance, strength and hardness qualities among all the stainless alloys, capable of attaining (after heat treatment) the highest hardness (60 HRC). It has good resistance to the atmosphere, fresh water and mild acids. It has best resistance in the hardened, tempered and passivated condition. It allows creating a smooth polished surface and Razor sharp edges. It is being used in cutting instruments, rolling element bearings, valve seats, high quality knife blades, surgical instruments, chisels, ball bearings and valve parts and most commonly used in the production of Cutting tools, including Haircutting Scissors, daggers and swords.

I know too much information.

Thank you for taking a look and your question,

John
