Type 440 – which is a higher grade of cutlery steel which has a higher percentage of carbon, has much better edge retention when properly heat-treated. It can be hardened to approximately Rockwell 58 hardness, making it one of the hardest stainless steels

304 Stainless Steel or Type 304 the most common grade; the classic 18/8 (18% chromium, 8% nickel) stainless steel. Outside of the US, it is commonly known as “A2 stainless steel”, in accordance with ISO 3506 (not to be confused with A2 tool steel)

Steel is a uniquely sustainable material because once it is made it can be used, like steel, forever. Steel is infinitely recycled, so the investment in making steel is never wasted and can be capitalized on by future generations.

Carbon Steel Carbon steels contain Iron, Carbon, and other alloying elements such as Manganese, Silicon, and Copper. Alloy Steel Alloy steels contain common alloy metals in varying proportions, which makes this type of steel suitable for specific applications. Stainless Steel Although stainless steels comprise of several metal alloys, they usually contain 10-20 percent chromium, making it...

When Iron is alloyed with carbon and other elements it is called steel. The resultant alloy has applications as the main component of buildings, infrastructure, tools, ships, automobiles, machines, various appliances, and weapons. The uses are myriad because of steel's high tensile strength and relatively low cost.

Iron is a naturally occurring element found in nature within Iron Ore. Iron is the main component of Steel, which is an alloy of Iron with the main addition of Steel. Steel is stronger than Iron, with better tension and compression properties.
