440 is a nice steel for knives. im partial to carbon steel myself, but that is mostly just for its eez to work with.

from my understanding 440 is one of the best stainless steels for edge holding and toughness. although this meens it may be difacult to sharpen with a natural stone and that you might have to use a ceramic or dimond stone to sharpen it.

oh, and by the way, thats a nice knife you got there :tup:
