Like most other steels, stainless is pretty soft as it comes from the mill and certainly wouldn't hold an edge so heat treating hardens it to a hardness that will hold an edge. You can actually get it to hard and then it becomes brittle.

Good to know, I was mistakenly under the impression that stainless was hard already.

Some are and some aren't, there are countless types and variations of stainless depending on their intended use.

If you know anyone who has access to a machine shop, I'm sure that they can get it checked for you. This is what I use in my shop. ![](http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt316/ConnerKnives/Shop/tester1.jpg)
