Bakelite's main property is the fact that you can bake bread in lite form, so it's free.
An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, and where the resulting material has metallic properties. Steel is an alloy. It is a combination of iron (metallic) and other elements. Usually the iron is combined with carbon (non metallic) but can be combined also with molybdenum, manganese, chromium, or nickel. The proportion of elements added to the iron will affect the hardness of the steel. The greater the amount will increase hardness.
Tru-sharp steel - according to Case themselves and H.G. Russel is 420 HC - the same steel that BUCK uses often. There have been many negative comments about 420 - however - due to the hardening process of both Buck (BOS) and CASE - they seem to make very good knives for every day use. In fact, Les Stroud carries a Buck 119 - made of the same steel. Not bad for Survivorman! Here is the break down of what is in a 420 HC knife blade: Carbon - .40 - .50 Manganese - .8 Chromium - 12.00 - 14.00 Vanadium - .18 Molybdenum - .6 The Rockwell hardness is: 57-59
End quenching can change the hardness of metals by introducing different crystal structures. Steel is commonly quenched to introducing martensite, a very hard form of steel crystalline structure.
The elements that make up stainless steel are nickel, iron,chromium and manganese.

EN31 is steel that has a hardness measurement of 63HRC. The Brinell-Rockwell hardness of the material ranges from 59 to 65.
Hardness of metal is determined by the carbon content. HRC is the Rockwell Hardness Scale. A hardness of 55-58 is not very hard compared to carbon steel.
Rockwell Hardness of steel 1018 ranges from 71 to 78 converted from Brinell hardness. The difference from 71 to 78 is caused by manufacturing metods and/or purity of the alloy. The corresponding test for 1018 is RHB wich must be done using 1/16 a ball penetrator.
The initial load in Rockwell hardness test is 10KGf.
