0170-6c

[Leather]

Is there a chart that compares this steel to others ?

Is it similar to Ka-Bar 1095 Carbon steel ?

0170-6C is reported to be the Camillus version of 50100-B, which has about 1% carbon, 0.50% Chrome, 0.4% Manganesse and about 0.20% Vanadium. 1095 has about .95 carbon and about 0.4% Manganese.
1095 and 0170-6C are similar in most respects except that 0170-6C will hold an edge longer due to the added Chrome and Vanadium.
BTW, Cold Steel's Carbon V is rumored to be 0170-6C.
