the material is stated as 440c.. i take this as a mistake.. is it not d2?

Definitely a mistake. The "D2" is laser etched right on the base of the blade.

If someone offered to sell you a D3 for 10k, I would run from this person as quickly as possible. The D3 is no longer in production. Since it has been replaced by the D4 it has declined in value not increased

The blade is 7Cr17 high-carbon stainless steel, but not as high carbon as 440C more like 440A. This is a good knife that is sharp enough to shave with out of the box. It will need to be resharpened after use but is a great value, in my opinion compared to 440C skinning knives.

I haven't used it yet. The box, however, says: "The dual-oven baking paper for conventional ovens (up to 450* F/ 230* C) and microwave ovens". (* = degrees, of course, symbol unavailable)

I'm afraid that I can't give you a medically correct answer. I've had no problems at all with the material I have that has expired, and its working just as well as the non expired material. I hope this helps and good luck.

It would be hard and very expensive to test the metal, (sending it to a lab for a carbon assessment), but from what the sword is advertised as, and from personal experience, I would say it is untreated 1045 high carbon steel. I say "high" carbon, but 1045 is still a pretty soft steel. This isn't meant as a beater, but it still looks awesome and cuts well.

It is 420HC (according to amazon and Gerber's website). 420 steels, like the 440's are a stainless steels. Although, 420hc has more carbon than 420 (hc stands for high carbon), it is still a stainless steel. -Btw, stainless steel knives do rust; they're not impervious to moisture, just resistant. Wikipedia quote: "420HC ( 420C ) is a higher carbon content 420 stainless. The HC stands for "high carbon" and it can be brought to a higher hardness than 420 and should not be mistaken for it."

I asked the seller and he sent me the certificate of analysis. This is uncoated non-nano zinc oxide. The mean particle size is 350 so none of it should be nano sized.

Dragon girl, I remember reading about the difference in the numbers 1, 2and 3 back when I started using collagen. I just googled it. Sorry I'm not much help.:-) But I do like the Great Lakes that I'm taking.

Tricia,Thanks for the question. Amazon made this listing, and the rest of us sellers are just along for the ride. They put that information in incorrectly -- the opposite is, of course, correct. The small is 32A-B, and the medium is 34C-38C.

The material says it holds up to 300#. My husband was 220# and never had a problem.

It's D2 - I purchased mine toward the end of last year. All in all, a good knife - I have not had a single issue with it

I noticed the same thing, but read something about it being "standardized" to 65%... not really sure what that means. You might want to contact the company to see if they can clarify for you.

I just got off the phone with Bel-Art Products, the supplier. All of their stock is 60-100 in 4 degree increments. They are going to correct the product description to reflect that.

David, The supplier that we receive our material from has assured us that the blank material that is in question is Mylar plastic. If you would like, please contact us, as we can provide you with the Material Data Safety Sheets for the particular material. Thank you, The Stencil Ease Team
