1.4116 X50CrMov15 German Steel with HRC 58 +/- 2 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale

The steel that we use at Lief + Svein is 1.4116 which is a Premium German Manufactured steel that is made from X50CrMOV15 which is a Martensitic stainless steel. The steel is used for high-end knives, cutlery, and surgical instruments.

X50CrMov steel has ideal properties for the manufacture of kitchen knives and this type is the most used in cutlery in Germany, where it is also most often manufactured, so much so that 1.4116 steel is very often called "German steel".

X50CrMov15 is used by all large-quality manufacturers of kitchen knives like Lief + Svein.

For stainless steel, it's quite hard. It's resistant to corrosion-induced in kitchen conditions and by far one of the best German Steels you could have in a quality kitchen knife.
