While 440 steel is hard and sharp compared to other stainless steel, it doesn’t come close to an authentic katana. If you are getting a katana for display purposes only, 440 steel will do okay. Its stainless properties will preserve it for a long time on the shelf.
2 lut 2024 · The mechanical properties of 440 stainless steel, including its tensile strength, toughness, and wear resistance, make it suitable for knives by ensuring durability, a long-lasting sharp edge, and resistance to breaking or chipping under normal use.
In general, stainless steel is not good for swords but it is very nice for knives. Also Pakistani products can be a but dubious in quality in general, so beware. If you’re just getting a wall hanger, then cheap Pakistani steel is fine
4 paź 2024 · Pakistani knife-makers have perfected the art of using high-grade stainless steel in their blades. This type of steel not only ensures sharpness and longevity but also provides excellent corrosion resistance.
27 lut 2013 · From what I read, 440A is actually less resilient than 440C and would probably make a worse blade steel. 440C is already too brittle for anything that is longer than a large survival knife (anything with a blade that goes beyond the 12'' mark). So, 440ABC aren't appropriate sword steels.
The very high carbon stainless steel alloys like 440C can easily be far too brittle for swords. These are the alloys that shatter on impact (Shopping Channel style). Alloys like 440A, with about 0.65% carbon will give you a blade less tough than, e.g., 1065, with similar heat treatment, but shouldn't be any more brittle than 1095.
14 sie 2001 · Been looking at some blades for future project (after current one finished). Some on eBay made of 440 Stainless. Seem like I recall hearing that stainless makes a pretty knife that won't hold an edge. Much like the Pakistan knives. Am I correct?
