They are both powder metallurgy steels.
The compositions are similar, though not exactly the same. But powder metallurgy steel properties can vary depending on who is doing the processing. So, maybe quite similar, but maybe not.

Thanks Knarfeng! the reason I was asking because a few years ago I have made a purchase on a "Fehrman Extreme Judgement" serial number #061L, I was questioning myself what is the meaning of the letter "L". I just found out a few days ago the meaning of the letter "L" stands for "Latrobe Specialty Steel" and the "Fehrman Extreme Judgement" is made out of *Pyrovan* has anyone every seen or heard of this?
