Stainless steel AEB-L from Swedish company Uddeholm is characterized by good corrosion resistance and blade durability after proper heat treatment. It is widely used for surgical instruments and thin blades. It is a very popular option for kitchen knife makers. It is also widely used, as one of the few European steels, by knife makers in the USA. Hardness after hardening and tempering ranges from 60-62 HRC.
The steel is cut from a coil and is therefore slightly bent. However, it can be easily flattened.
