It is a nice looking knife but I don't know about that forward pin???
Isnt 440c steel a poor steel ? and doesnt hold an edge very well
I thought 440C was one of the better stainless steels? and isn't it more to do with the heat treat rather than the steel? Probably a question for the more knowledgable chaps over on BB.Is it? That might explain why my Trapper is such a bugger to sharpen.

Just occured to me that these 2 statements may be contradictory.. A soft steel that doesn't hold an edge will be easier to sharpen again ... a harder steel will take more effort to sharpen, but keep it's edge longer?Is it? That might explain why my Trapper is such a bugger to sharpen.
Type 440C is the stainless steel that can be heat treated to the highest hardness of any of the corrosion resistant steels. Its best corrosion resisting properties are obtained when it is in the fully hardened condition. It is recommended where high hardness, wear and corrosion resistance are paramount. This type is magnetic in all conditions.
