1046(AISI) - I was surprised to find out 1046 was actually used in knives. Higher carbon versions from AISI 10xx series are much more prevalent. Well, it'll still outperform most of the budget stainless steel blades when used in large, heavy duty knives, or throwing knives. Hammer heads are made out of this class of alloy, which serves as a good example of it's toughness.
