Steel for gutting knife?
Gents!

I will buy a blade for a gutting/field dressing knife and wonder if the SS2140 is a good candidate?
Found on: ourmetals.com
(The American equivalent of SS 2140 Swedish grade is UNS T31501)

The blade without sheath & handle runs at $60 and is sharpened, polished and heat tempered.

Sincerely
Daniel

This is our AISI grade O-1 tool steel.It makes an excellent knife steel !! It is not stainless steel of course.
