19c27 ? Perceval P60 folder

Hi Poussin ;)

19C27 is a stainless steel similar to 12C27, with more carbon.

19C27 0.95%C 13.5%Cr
12C27 0.60%C 13.5%Cr

It should be a slightly better steel than the 12C27, the extra carbon should improve the edge retention.
 
No it is not a typo. Sandvick 19c27 is a high carbon stainless (.95%) carbon. It is kind of like 440C, but has less chrome and is probably pretty pure. It sounds interesting to me. Check out the entry in this table.
