No, in fact there is nothing hard about Stainless Steel. 304 and 316 grades are about 35 on the Rockwell Scale of Hardness (yep got my flame suit on for that one...), not hard at all. That is exactly why it can be hard to work with.
Some steels, even though harder can be easier to work with, can be "worked" much easier. I used to sell carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze....
