440 steel
Material information:
This steel is very popular for everyday knives due to its rust resistance. This is ensured by the high chromium content of up to 18%. This steel is also characterised by its very high hardness, approx. 56-59 Rockwell. The hardness is determined by the mixture ratio of carbon components. However, the disadvantage of most hard steels is their lack of cutting durability. With frequent use, you will need to resharpen the knife regularly.
440 steels are divided into 3 subtypes:
- 440 A: carbon content approx. 0.55%, chromium content approx. 14%, approx. 56 Rockwell
- 440 B: carbon content approx. 0.90%, chromium content approx. 18%, approx. 56 - 57 HRC Rockwell
- 440 C: carbon content approx. 1.05%, chromium content approx. 17%, approx. 58 - 59 HRC Rockwell
Hirschhorn
Material information:
Horn material has been used for knife handles for many years. It is particularly popular with hunters. The rough surface ensures a good grip even with gloves or wet hands, without being uncomfortable.
As horn is a natural material, each knife is unique. It is subject to ageing and the appearance may differ from the image!
