Bohler Stainless Steel
Posted: Sun Jul 21, 2019 11:36 am
Bohler-Uddenholm makes some great stainless steel.
According to their literature, they were the first ones to make stainless steel and we have had "stainless tool steel" for over 100 years. This seems to refute those who claim "tool and stainless steel are mutually exclusive in properties."

Here is whom they claim invented stainless steel. Though in England there were people working on the basic concepts, and Krupp had people working on it.

Max Mauermann (born July 22, 1868 in Tarnowitz , † July 1, 1929 in Vienna ) was an Austrian engineer and inventor of stainless steel .
Max Mauermann came to Styria from Tarnowitz in Upper Silesia and since 1899 he has been part of the Bleckmann Stahlwerke (formerly Phoenix Stahlwerke ) laboratory in Mürzzuschlag (Austria), where he was soon appointed Laboratory Manager.
He developed there in numerous experiments in 1912, the first stainless steel and presented this product at the Vienna Adriatic Exhibition in 1913. Mauermann rose to become the director of Stahlwerke Bleckmann.
He, like so many inventors, was struck by the fate of not being able to enjoy the fame of his great invention carefree. A steel company in the Ruhr later also produced stainless steel. It came 1924 to a patent process, which won Mauermann in a first judgment. However, the fame and the profits were scrapped by the Ruhr Group.
The process subsequently developed into a year-long legal dispute beyond Max Mauermann's death. Only three days after his death, the first invention of stainless steel is expressly confirmed.
In 1955 Max-Mauermann-Gasse was named after him in Vienna's Favoriten .

Here is my question for you all:
I know on this forum most of us have discussed and understand that with high quality comes high cost and with low cost usually comes low quality, but, let's imagine there was a machine that could produce the best quality stainless steel knife at the lowest possible price.
If you were offered a knife with a six inch long Bohler-Uddenholm N695 stainless steel blade and a durable nylon-based polymer handle and sheath, and it only cost you 10 US dollars, would you purchase said knife and add it to your collection and for using, or would you even purchase several at that price, or, not?
And take this further: What cutting applications would you use something like that for?
