440 Series Stainless Steel Bar
440 stainless steel is divided into 440 A, 440 B, 440C.
(A-0.75%, B-0.9%, C-1.2%) from the A-B-C. 440C is a very good high-end stainless steel, hardness is usually 56-58Rc. These three kinds of steel anti-rust ability are good, 440A best, and 440C compared to the lowest. SOG SEAL 2000 uses a 440A, Randall with 440B to produce stainless steel cutting tools. 440C is very common, may be the second most commonly used stainless steel (after ATS-34). If your knife is marked "440", it is probably cheaper than the 440A; if the manufacturer uses the more expensive 440C, they will be willing to advertise this. The general feeling 440A for everyday use is just right, especially after high-quality heat treatment 440A. 440B is more robust, and 440C is excellent.
