Whenever people talk about Randall's stainless steel blade, they always refer to it as 440B, Joe's steel FAQ included. According to Randall's catalogue (page 29, 31st printing), their stainless steel blade is made from "a special high carbon (1.00%) stainless steel". And from all the steel charts on the internet (A.G. Russell included), anything above 0.95% is classified as 440C.
So is it 440B or 440C? I like to know because I have one in stainless steel.
