Steel Properties
1.4116 steel is a popular choice for knife blade blanks due to a combination of its properties that make it well-suited for cutting tools. 4116 steel contains a significant amount of chromium (around 14-15%), which provides good corrosion resistance. This makes it suitable for knives that will be used in humid or wet environments, ensuring that the blade remains rust-free with minimal maintenance. While not the hardest steel available, 4116 steel offers a good balance of hardness (typically around 55-57 HRC) and edge retention. This means the blade can maintain a sharp edge for a reasonable amount of time while still being relatively easy to sharpen. It can withstand impacts and resist chipping or breaking. This is crucial for knife blades that may be subjected to heavy use or accidental drops. One of the advantages of 4116 steel is its ease of sharpening. Compared to harder steels, 4116 can be sharpened more quickly and with less effort, which is important for maintaining the blade’s performance without requiring specialized sharpening tools. 4116 steel is relatively inexpensive compared to high-end knife steels. This makes it an attractive option for both manufacturers and consumers looking for good performance at a lower cost. 4116 steel's properties make it versatile for various types of knives, including kitchen knives, hunting knives, and everyday carry (EDC) knives. Its balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
4116 steel's combination of corrosion resistance, toughness, reasonable edge retention, ease of sharpening, and affordability make it a well-rounded choice for knife blade blanks. These characteristics ensure that knives made from 4116 steel offer good performance for a variety of uses while remaining accessible to a wide range of users.
