whats the steel in this knife?

My guess would be 440A. Hopefully, somebody knows for sure.
 
Will'em,
I', at home now[7:30 pm], but if I remember correctly the original #23 pattern had a carbon steel blade. These closeouts that were finished up with leftover parts are fitted with a 420HC or possibly a 440A blade. The blade is "about" 3.25", again, this is from memory. I'll check tomorrow.

Neat old traditional pattern, at a GREAT buy.
