Originally developed specifically for knife blades, it is known for its exceptional balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and fine edge stability. Often viewed as an evolution of 12C27 and closely related to AEB-L in performance and behavior, 14C28N has become a favorite among both custom makers and production knife manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor makers familiar with AEB-L, 14C28N offers a very similar fine-grained structure and excellent edge performance while providing increased corrosion resistance through the addition of nitrogen. It can also be forge welded using parameters similar to those commonly used for AEB-L, making it an attractive option for makers interested in stainless Damascus and laminated blade constructions. This combination makes it an excellent choice for everyday carry, kitchen, hunting, and outdoor knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"493\" data-end=\"529\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"497\" data-end=\"529\"\u003eSteel Composition Highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"i67tda\" data-start=\"839\" data-end=\"907\"\u003e~0.62% Carbon – Supports good hardness while maintaining toughness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1t7k0g4\" data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"977\"\u003e~14.0% Chromium – Provides excellent corrosion and stain resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ucyikj\" data-start=\"978\" data-end=\"1046\"\u003e~0.11% Nitrogen – Improves corrosion resistance and edge stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"154g6n9\" data-start=\"1047\" data-end=\"1111\"\u003e~0.60% Manganese – Enhances hardenability and steel processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1g1pwfe\" data-start=\"1112\" data-end=\"1170\"\u003e~0.20% Silicon – Contributes to strength and deoxidation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"985\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"908\"\u003eTypical Hardness Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58–62 HRC\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"922\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"937\"\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conventional ingot metallurgy stainless steel\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1017\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"996\" data-end=\"1017\"\u003eEquivalent Steels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"16y21zj\" data-start=\"1300\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003eAEB-L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"15b4ogd\" data-start=\"1308\" data-end=\"1315\"\u003e13C26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"15b5ejx\" data-start=\"1316\" data-end=\"1323\"\u003e12C27\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"m3b125\" data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1333\"\u003eNitro-V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1837gt7\" data-start=\"1334\" data-end=\"1389\"\u003eLC200N (similar corrosion-focused stainless category)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"17crpjp\" data-start=\"1390\" data-end=\"1397\"\u003eVG-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany makers consider 14C28N to be one of the closest alternatives to AEB-L, offering a familiar working experience while adding an extra margin of stain and corrosion resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003eManufactured in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweden\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1145\" data-end=\"1148\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1148\" data-end=\"1163\"\u003eTechnology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conventional ingot metallurgy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Admiral","offers":[{"title":"0.065\" X 1.5\" - By the foot","offer_id":67983913386220,"sku":"14C28N_.065x1.5x12","price":21.37,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.065\" X 1.5\" X 48\" Bar","offer_id":67983913418988,"sku":"14C28N_.065x1.5x48","price":77.71,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.065\" X 2\" - By the foot","offer_id":67983913451756,"sku":"14C28N_.065x2x12","price":27.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.065\" X 2\" X 48\" Bar","offer_id":67983913484524,"sku":"14C28N_.065x2x48","price":98.55,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.125\" X 1.5\" - By the foot","offer_id":67983913517292,"sku":"14C28N_.125x1.5x12","price":32.24,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.125\" X 1.5\" X 48\" Bar","offer_id":67983913550060,"sku":"14C28N_.125X1.5x48","price":117.23,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.125\" X 2\" - By the foot","offer_id":67983928525036,"sku":"14C28N_.125x2x12","price":41.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.125\" X 2\" X 48\" Bar","offer_id":67983928557804,"sku":"14C28N_.125X2x48","price":150.83,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0453\/9799\/9783\/files\/1428CN.png?v=1793208867","url":"https:\/\/maritimeknifesupply.ca\/products\/14c28n-1","provider":"Maritime Knife Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
