Crkt MY TIGHE Steel

[ZAXDAD66]

Does anyone have a diffinitive answer as to the blade steel in the new my tighe knife? CRKT calls it one thing and Blade magazine refered to it as 440 or 420. I just wondered if anyone knew what 1.4116 stainless is.

I believe 1.4116 stainless steel is similar to 440A if I remember right. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
It is a satisfactory steel that is consistent with the street price of the knife.

1.4116 is comparable to AUS-6.
