304 Stainless steel? Your soup spoon is made from that. Great for corrosion resistant items that don't need much hardness. 3xx stainless is also considered easier to machine. Perhaps you meant something from the 440 series A through C? Those are hardenable.

5160 is a spring steel alloy and would be excellent. Except it's not very corrosion resistant.
