Tinted rows are where these two differ.

The steel difference

Tru-Sharp Surgical Steel

Case's proprietary 420HC-class stainless. Chosen for how easily it re-sharpens, which is what traditional pocket knife owners want.

1.4110 Stainless

Victorinox's steel. Deliberately soft — the tool set is the point, and every blade re-sharpens in seconds.
