Knife Steels are chosen based on their intended use. Fillet knives are usually made from a different material that a camp knife or a skinner. Stainless grades are popular for many applications as well as tool steel grades and more recently the PM grades. Knife steels are hardened anyehwere from 50HRC 67-68HRC.
Toughness of the knife blade material may a factor for many knife makers. There are many grades that offer a combination of properties. See the related links for more information.

"you cant" Silly... Yes you can! Totally and easily! If this is the knife I have, there is a button in the middle of the handle that pops open the blade storage compartment. On the same side near the front end, there is another red button. When pressed, it doesn't even feel like it moves much. Look at a blade; see that there are 2 notches in the top? There is a little piece of metal that holds the blade in the knife. This is the button that disengages that little nubbin. To change the blade, extend the blade to its most forward position. Then press that red button, grab the blade (a pliers is safer than your fingers) and pull the blade out the tip of the knife. To insert the blade just do this in reverse. Be sure that the blade is, in fact, engaged and held securely before using the knife. Be sure to dispose of your blade safely. I wrap mine in duct tape and trash it.
The blade of a gravity knife is contained within the handle of the knife. It requires a spinning motion or gravity for the blade to come out of the handle.
