Victorinox Stainless folder

[hilltopper]

Does anyone know anything about the steel used in the Officer Suisse folder. It only says Stainless Rostfrei on the blade. Thanks

Here you go, Cliff Stamps website,

Look in stainless steels, and then look to Inox.

From the information from Cliff's webpage (link above) the following sums it up:

INOX is a stainless steel similar to 12C27M which is optomized for a high toughness and corrosion resistance.

Victorinox runs it at 56 Rc.

Quote from Cliff's website:
"This is the steel used in Swiss Army Knives, INOX just means steel in swedish. The composition is very similar to 12C27M."

Sorry, but INOX is short for french = inoxydable and means stainless.
