The hardenability of 440C is due to it having the highest carbon content in the 440 group. Because of this, 440C is one of the most common stainless alloys used for knife making. [34] The once ubiquitous American Buck Model 110 Folding Hunter was made of 440C before 1981. [citation needed] Böhler n695 is equivalent to 440C.
To date, Byrd knives have featured 8Cr13MoV as their blade steel except for the Byrd Catbyrd titanium which uses 9Cr18Mo steel. [44] The brand's early knives were marked 440C, but tests found that the steel was something entirely different from American 440C. This steel was closer to AUS-8 than American 440C, and also went by the name 8Cr13MoV ...
440C (UNS designation S44004) is a martensitic 400 series stainless steel, [1] and has the highest carbon content of the 400 stainless steel series. It can be heat treated to reach hardness of 58 to 60 HRC .
It seems like every $5+ knife at walmart and harbor freight etc, is now called "High Carbon Stainless." While I suspect in the real world, claimed specifications are not checked and it's meaningless undefined hype, we need to attempt an explanation. (Spyderco famously discovered that their knife supplier/maker was marking 8Cr13MoV steel as 440C ...
