Has anyone made a knife that is not so basic?
Like, no matter how it crosses, is only as strong and hard that the blade will not dull? Is it possible?
possible, just not practical, which technically could make a strong knife, heavy metals such as tungsten carbide, but it would be almost impossible to tune if I was ever bored. also can make a knife harder the material world, diamond nanotubes, but the price for this situation leaves would weigh its usefulness.

Suck 440 stainless steel for use in a knife?
I've heard good things and bad things about 440 steel. I know they are different degrees, but none of them really "suck". They just have slightly different properties. 440A corrosion resistance is not so complicated, but is even better. 440B is rare, and 440C is hard but not as sharp as carbon steel. So is there really a "bad" steel for use in a knife? I never, ever had a period of knife in me, and I use a lot. I am a lover of nature.
most of the manufacturers of custom knives (Loveless and others) used 440C until perhaps 10 years ago (maybe a little behind) if not used O1 or other carbon high for several years, a lot of big names knives (Buck I and several others) began to use 440A for its production of knives and have learned costs less to heat treatment, which is a good blade steel is best, but costs rise by much of the perpetrators are now using 420 - apparently makes the 420HC a decent blade, but it is cheap and just said that 420 is probably quite - Quality is pretty useless and probably more dependent on heat-treated steel that exact starting point http://www.agrussell.com/
