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
