I am not adamant about 440C. It just happens to be the steel of a friends knife I am considering buying. It's no bargain if it is junk.

That's cool ... maybe your friend will let you borrow it, check it out for yourself?I am not adamant about 440C. It just happens to be the steel of a friends knife I am considering buying. It's no bargain if it is junk.
FWIW some of the best 440C knives I've ever seen were Bucks made in the 1970's, which will take and hold a very good edge. If your friend's knife happens to be one of these, I'd probably grab it.
Edit to add: yeah, same thing as TAH's saying!
