>>2275234>If you knew anything about steel you'd know that most stainless steels are inferior as cutting tools in comparison to most normie carbon steels.Meh.
A 5£ stainless steel knife cuts way better than a bar of rust.
Welcome to living and always /out/ing within eyesight of the fucking ocean. (and admittedly being too lazy to care for steel that desperately wants to become rust)
>thinking 420HC is an actual standard and/or classified as a stainless steelOh, steel spergery form the guy who foes "Waaahhhh, waaaahhhh, you shouldn't care about the steel that uncle Mao uses to make his knives.".
Amusing.
>>Chromium content is one requirement but so is a maximum carbon content.Elucidate me, anon.
Show me the great big difference between what is commonly called 420HC (most of the time it's just 420 with MoV; which also isn't a real standard, because AISI standards are very sparse in an industry where every fucking foundry does something different) and X50CrMoV15 (of which 5cr15 is the chink equivalent, I wrongly called it 5cr13 at least once before,I won't ever care enough to add MoV, because they are almost always there and the knife manufacturers don't list them either)
Again, have at it, show me what is so different about those steels.
