It is a bad conductor of heat and does not spreads heat evenly.....
Greatest disadvantage of stainless steel is wide spread Iron deficiency anemia. Prior to the invention of stainless steel, people used to cook food in ordinary Iron pot, witch used to rust and daily this rust of Iron was consumed by people. Daily need of elemental Iron is very low. 3 mg/day and at the most 5 mg/day is sufficient to cure Iron deficiency anemia. So previously people almost never had Iron deficiency anemia, I guess. With the invention and widespread use of stainless steel, food became devoid of Iron and one has to take Iron supplement or most of the people suffer from Iron deficiency anemia.

∙ 10y agotool steel is not very ductile so would therefore break easily and it isnt as effective as low carbon steel

One advantage of hardened steel is that it is wear resistant.

Difference between air hardening and stainless steel?
There isn't really a difference since a piece of steel can both stainless and air hardened. Stainless steel is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10% chromium content by mass. Metals can be hardened in a variety of ways. They may be work hardened, tempered, air or oil hardened, for example. Tempering, or the systematic heating, cooling and reheating of a material is one technique that might be used to harden steel.
