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 stainless steel is often chosen for EDC (Everyday Carry), hunting, and outdoor blades due to several favorable characteristics:
- Corrosion Resistance: 4116 stainless steel contains a significant amount of chromium, which enhances its resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in outdoor environments where exposure to moisture is common.
- Edge Retention: While not as high as some premium steels, 4116 steel offers decent edge retention, meaning the blade can maintain its sharpness through moderate use, which is important for tasks like hunting and outdoor activities.
- Toughness: 4116 steel exhibits good toughness, meaning it can withstand impacts and rough use without chipping or breaking easily. This is particularly important for outdoor knives that may encounter hard materials or be subjected to heavy use.
- Easy of sharpnening: It's relatively easy to sharpen, which is advantageous for users who may need to touch up the blade while in the field or on the go.
- Affordability: Compared to some higher-end steels, 4116 stainless steel is more affordable while still offering decent performance, making it an attractive option for those looking for a good balance between performance and cost.
Overall, 4116 stainless steel offers a combination of corrosion resistance, edge retention, ease of sharpening, affordability, and toughness that makes it a practical choice for EDC, hunting, and outdoor blades. However, it's worth noting that the specific performance of a blade also depends on its heat treatment and overall design.
