Maybe somebody will chime in and remind us which stainless steel is used for the hilt on the Model 17.

Not sure which stainless steel is used on the 17 hilt, but 400 series stainless steel is magnetic and 300 series stainless steel is non-magnetic. Many custom knifemakers use 303 stainless for fittings.
