Stainless Blade Steel

Stainless steel is a popular type of steel among knifemakers for its high resistance to rust and corrosion. Though blades made of stainless steel lose their edge quicker than other metal materials, they are easier to sharpen due to stainless steel’s tougher, but softer properties. Among the stainless blade steel types (440C, 154CM, CPM154, CPMS-30V, CPMS-35VN, CPMS-90V), 440C is the most widely used among professional knifemakers for its high carbon content. Stainless steel comes in a wide variety of sizes to meet the needs of your desired blade.
