What is 19C27 ?(blade of a perceval P60)

[Bart student]

Hello Folks,

I am interested in buying a Perceval P60
automatic (altough it's illegal in Belgium).
From the last SICAC, where Perceval was, I know the blade is made out off 19C27. I first tought he ment 12C27 made by Sandvik, but he really ment 19C27, also from sweden.
Anyone know / used this steel?
Any info will be appreciated.

greetz & thanks in advance. Bart.

Sounds like 440-B with a little bit less chrome... This could become my favourite stainless steel.

greetz and thanks for the reply, Bart.
