Blade Type Information: 420 Stainless Steel

420 is the numerical designation for a grade of stainless steel. The 400 series includes ferritic and martensitic chromium alloys, with 420 specifically referring to Cutlery Grade martensitic, which is similar to Brearley's original rustless steel and possesses excellent polishability.

Type 420 Stainless Steel, a modification of 410, has a higher carbon content to increase hardness, improve strength and give better wear resistance. Type 420 Stainless Steel provides both corrosion resistance as well, and is commonly used in dental and surgical instruments, cutlery, plastic molds, pump shafts, steel balls, and numerous hand tools.

Type 420 resists corrosion by the atmosphere, fresh water, steam, carbonic acid, crude oil, gasoline, perspiration, alcohol, ammonia, mercury , sterilizing solutions, soaps and other similar corrosives.

Handle Material Information: Leather Grip

No matter what you are using one of these tools for it is best that the tool is equipped with the right type of grip. With the wrong type, you can seriously injure yourself or someone else. You could also mutilate whatever it is that you are working on. Let’s take a quick look at some of the top reasons for having a leather grip, shall we?

Grip

When you are using one of these tools with a leather grip then you know that your hand will have a more firm and comfortable feeling than with other types of handle material. While it might not be feasible in some cases, leather grips will give more easily than hardwood thereby making it a more comfortable grip.

Mold

Leather has a tendency to mold itself. If you have a leather grip on a tool, then after a while you will start to notice that it is becoming molded to the shape of your hand. This gives you a better grip and it will continue to do so the longer that it is used.

Longevity

Leather has an amazingly long life…if you don’t scratch or nick it. Even if you do damage it the leather can easily be fixed or replaced. If you want the grip on your tools to be long lasting as well as comfortable then there is no better material for it than leather.

If you are in search of more information regarding grips for knives, axes or tomahawks then you should swing by Tomahawk Database. Everything you ever wanted to know about these tools can be found there. It is almost like an encyclopedia for these types of things. The best part is that it is extremely easy to navigate and find whatever it is that you are looking for.

Rockwell Hardness: HRC 51-53

The United Cutlery KR0022B Battle Axe has a Rockwell Hardness of HRC 51-53

Stanley P. Rockwell inevnted the Rockwell Hardness Test in 1919 while working as a metallurgist in ball bearing plant. Rockwell wanted to measure the uniformity and hardness of inner and outer rings on which the ball bearings rolled. He designed a device that could measure hardness accurately and quickly.

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standardized a set of scales for testing Rockwell hardness values. Each scale has been designated a letter and corresponds to a different group of materials. Scale C is used for steel, titanium, deep case hardened steel, hard cast irons and other materials harder than scale B 100.

Knife blades and other steel hardened tools are made from metals that match to the Rockwell C scale. Most blade makers display the hardness number as "HRC xx" or "HRC xx - xx" providing a range, where "xx" indicates a Rockwell hardness number. Not many blades measure over HRC 70. Most functional blades rate somewhere between HRC 56 and HRC 63.

Generally, blades with a lower HRC number don't hold and edge for long under demanding use, but they are easier to sharpen. Blades with a higher HRC value stay sharp for longer, but are more difficult to sharpen. As an example, stainless steel has a HRC higher than carbon steel, but it is also more difficult to sharpen than carbon steel.
