Favorite blade steel?

I've been carrying a lightweight Spyderco Stretch XL in CPM-SPY 27. This steel seems to be an all around beast. Its very corrosion resistant, holds a great edge (similar to S30V/S35VN), and is easy to sharpen. I usually just touch it up on 3,000 grit wet/dry sandpaper and strop with some 12,000 git diamond compound.
 
Not that it matters a great deal since I have sharpening equipment at home and at work, but m390 is pleasant to work with.
