Where can I get a comparison chart for stainless steel? I have some knives,
some made out of 440, and some 420. I would like to just know what the
differences are.

I find matweb.com pretty useful. It's not in charts -- they have sheets
for each material.

Kinda technical. It certainly doesn't have anything like xxx is easier
to harden and makes a tough edge, yyy will never break. But if you're
looking for composition and mechanical properties -- it has that.
