Puma White Hunter Steel

[David Stifle]

Hi Folks,

Just wondering if anyone can give me some info on Puma White Hunter steel type, It's listed as 4.116 stainless. That's a new one for me, does it equate to 440, S30V, or anyother known stainless, or is it it's own hybred? Thanks guys

I assume it is Krupp 4116. Don't know much about it myself, but the consensus on this forum seems to be that it is fairly unimpressive, on par with 420hc or 440a.
