Victorinox blade steel had been a mystery for a long time -

Now thanks to a net-friend who sent me a copy of -
Victorinox
"Everything you need to know about Multi-tools and cutlery"
and marked-
© VICTORINOX 2008
X.90230.1 / Printed in Switzerland.

Included is a section on Victorinox blade steel

Here's a crop from that manual -

This is the first time I've seen Victorinox actually name the steel as DIN 1.4110 (German)

Here's a useful page -
Steel designations and compositions

Notice they give a composition for INOX (SAK) steel which is different from DIN 1.4110 - I'm pretty sure that was the earlier steel Vic used.

I also have an old copy -

Thanks, VT!

I had this info once (probably the old info) and lost it, I've been looking for it ever since.
 
Bottom line , is that it works . They do different heat treats for different types of impliments .

Excellent information UnknownVT. I've read many of your posts and have learned a great deal.

Thankyou;

So, basically it's 440A stainless. At least that's what the composition of the materials says it is.
