420HC Composition

Hello all,
What are the steel chart chemical compositions for 420HC steel? How dose this steel compare to ATS34 in terms of edge retention, impact strength and corrosion resistance? Thanks!

You will find the information on 420HC as well as the other steels used by Buck Knives at their website in an excellent article entitled BLADE STEEL.
