STAINLESS STEEL

All pocket knife blades, springs and tools are made from stainless steel.
Making a blade that offers optimum functionality and durability requires
the right steel alloy. The steel must ensure excellent edge retention and
sufficient resistance to rust, but should also be flexible
so that it does not break during use.

The following steel alloys are used for our Swiss Army Knives:

MATERIAL NO. COMPONENT ABBREVIATION C CR MO V
AISI (%) (%) (%) (%)

1.4110 blade X 55 Cr Mo14 0.48 – 0.60 13.0 – 15.0 0.50 – 0.80 ≤ 0 .15

1.4021 spring X 20 Cr13 0.16 – 0.25 12.0 – 14.0

1.4031 tools X 39Cr 13 0.36 – 0.42 12.5 – 14.5 0.1 – 0.2

All Victorinox alloys are in accordance with Regulation (EU)
no. 1935/2004 for products that come into contact with food.
