I am looking at getting my groomsmen knives for my wedding and looking at some inexpensive buck gentleman folders like the nobleman and colleague but just wondering how there 440a is?

The Nobleman, Colleague and Scholar knives are 440A.

I have often thought that a Nobleman would be a great groomsman gift.
I have one and it looks great but I use croc sticks to sharpen my knives because I'm no sharping wiz, and the 440a on it is the only one I trouble getting "arm hair shavin" sharp. Cant beat the price of em-I picked mine
up new on the bay $17 and free shipping.

I have a Colleague. The blade steel is indeed listed as being 440A.
Blade and handle designs are good. Love the blade shape.
Fit and finish is good.
Ergonomics is good for a knife that size.
I measured the blade hardness at 58. Edge retention is good for 440A. For EDC usage, I find the edge retention just fine.

Nice little knife. I think the Nobleman would be an excellent choice as my only issue with the Colleague is it is too small.
(I can only carry knives with a 2" blade at work so this is a common problem for me. I like bigger knives. I only get to carry small ones 11 hours a day.)
