Material Properties:

1.4116 Steel: Special grade that is a high-hardness martensitic stainless steel with improved corrosion and wear resistance compared to other martensitic stainless steels. It is used in the healthcare and consumer goods industries for products such as medical devices and knives. 4116 is a stainless steel often used in kitchen knives for several reasons:

1. Corrosion Resistance: It has good resistance to corrosion, which is important for kitchen knives as they are often exposed to moisture during use.
2. Ease of Maintenance: Its stainless properties make it relatively easy to maintain. It doesn't require as much care as high-carbon steels, which can rust if not properly cared for.
3. Sharpness & Edge Retention: While it may not hold an edge as long as some higher-end steels, 1.4116 can be sharpened to a very fine edge. It strikes a good balance between sharpness and ease of sharpening.
4. Durability: It's a tough steel, meaning it can withstand the rigors of kitchen use without chipping or breaking easily.
5. Affordability: Compared to some premium steels used in kitchen knives, 1.4116 is more affordable. This makes knives made from this steel accessible to a wider range of consumers.
