HTM Gunhammer CTS-XHP Vs S30V Steel

[Gusmanb]

My HTM GH2 Came in today.
I Must Say it is a nice knife that i picked up off ebay for only $208.

What I am confused about is the Seller listed it as having an S30V Blade with a low glare/Shine look, But to my surprise the blade is marked CTS-XHP and looks like a Stone wash finish. I like this look vary much, but is S30V the Same Steel? It's not a big deal that I have to return it, I am just Curious. I hope to one day get a real Custom DDR an this knife is exactly what I hoped it would be.
the Dark Earth a scales are better then expected too

It isn't the same steel, but some people like it better. If you like it, keep it sharp and start cutting.

CTS-XHP is a similar steel, however I prefer it over S30V as it seems to be a little tougher.
