AUS-6 v. AUS-6M?

[audiopile]

Is there a difference between AUS-6 blade steel and AUS-6M ? If so -what and why should I care?

I have been unable to find any spec sheet that lists a difference.

Knarfeng, I know there is a Aus8(W) version with added tungsten. Spyderco made an experimental sushi knife out of it one time. There is also a VG10(W) which has, to the best of my knowledge, never been used for knives.

I would guess that if there was a AUS6(M), it would be with added moly though I've never seen a foundry listing to back it up like I did with the VG10(W) http://www.e-tokko.com/eng_original_list.htm
