1.4110 Stainless

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

Typical hardness
55-57 HRC
Edge retention
1/5
Toughness
4/5
Corrosion resistance
4/5
Ease of sharpening
5/5

1-5 is a relative ranking drawn from published composition and hardness, not a lab measurement. Higher is better on every axis, and no steel is a 5 across the board — edge retention and toughness pull against each other.
