When it comes to manufacturing excellence in knives, 1.4116 stainless steel is always a top choice. 1.4116 stainless steel is a martensitic stainless steel known for its excellent balance of corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. This makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring high durability and longevity. Thanks to the exquisite balance of its alloying elements, 1.4116 stainless steel is often chosen for producing high-quality kitchen knives, surgical instruments, and many other technical applications.
Hardness: Thanks to its high carbon content, German steel 1.4116 has high hardness, making the knife blade durable over time. Edge Retention: The Molybdenum component in the alloy enhances hardness and edge retention, ensuring the knife remains sharp and easy to sharpen. Corrosion resistance (Wear resistance): The high chromium content helps 1.4116 steel resist corrosion, ensuring knives always remain shiny and durable. High durability: The microstructure of 1.4116 stainless steel is very stable, allowing the knife to withstand large impacts without deforming.| Standard | Steel grade |
