Read it, but would to get more informationYou can find some information about Marttinni steels here: https://www.marttiini.fi/PRODUCT-INFORMATION/MATERIALS. Not too informative, though.
I was wondering what stainless steel does Marttinni use and what is it equivalent to?
That leaves the door pretty wide open, as no carbon content is given, and it says the stainless alloy used can vary by model.Stainless chromium steel
Chromium steel is an easy-to-maintain and stainless-grade blade material the sharpness of the blade of which preserves for a long time.
A typical portion of chromium in the steel alloy is 14%, and the blade hardness is HRC 53-55. In some models, we also use high-carbon stainless steel, where the chromium content is 13-18% depending on the alloy. Depending on the model, these blades are tempered to hardness HRC 52-58. Chromium steel can also, for example, be coated with a Martef coating.
Sharpening of chromium steel can be done with a diamond sharpener. Read more.
