High Carbon 440A Stainless Steel Sheets, 440A Plates For Knives Blades
Stainless 440A is one of the workhorses of the Sports and Tactical Knife industry.
The majority of entry level knives use either 440A, 420HC or AUS-6, AUS-8 steel.
440 is a high carbon, martensitic stainless steel that is very corrosion resistant and extremely tough
that can be hardened to about RC58.
440A stainless takes a very fine edge and will easily pop the hairs off your arm if heat treated properly,
and is more corrosion resistant and tougher than 440B or 440C.
440A is used by production knife companies. Some of the Knife companies using this steel include Kershaw,
Gerber and Buck.
440A belongs to the family of stainless steels that include 440B and 440C, the major differences being the
variance in carbon content. 440A and 440B are actually indentical aside from carbon content.
