Guess this steel!!

[Ikigai Knives]

So I recently got some knives in and decided to test what the steel really is by voestalpine Thermo-Tech to check my supplier and confirm I was getting what I was paying for. I now know it's not the steel I requested but I'm curious on your guys opinions as to what it may be or if it is good. Let me know, thanks!

K110/D2 maybe?

I’ll take a crack at this,
Sleipner or Cru wear

420SuperJ?

Looks like something close to 154CM if I’m interpreting the numbers right.

Looks like near D2, with a little less vanadium. D2 has around 1% Vanadium if I'm not mistaken. Regardless, the composition you have there would be good if it was clean steel, good heat treatment, and good blade geometry.

What was it supposed to be?

Very D2-ish, based on the numbers.

You knew I was going to say it :
If it's not M4 it's crap.

That's actually close to CTS-XHP. Little less chromium and carbon, and a little vanadium and tungsten, but overall similar.

Yep, or the old 440XH which was stainless D2 before the powder steel version. No steel I've seen exactly matches the specs listed for the steel. This one is fairly close to a couple steels.
