14C28N Blade Introduction

14C28N is a high-value budget-to-midrange stainless steel that excels in corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, making it a low-maintenance workhorse for EDC and wet environments, but it falls short of premium steels in edge retention and requires more frequent touch-ups when cutting highly abrasive materials like cardboard.

14C28N Steel — Selling Points

The Turtle uses 14C28N stainless steel, a Sandvik formulation trusted for corrosion resistance and ease of field sharpening. With 58-61 HRC hardness, the blade delivers solid edge retention for general EDC cutting and is forgiving enough to be brought back to razor sharpness with a quick strop. The bead-blast finish hides micro-scratches from daily pocket carry.
