Queen uses this term to describe the material they use for a number of their knives. Anybody know what this is?

Gee Uncle Bill, let's not take the fun out of it! Don't you just love those fancy steel names? Nope! Me either, I wish they'd call it what it is.
They seem to have pleased Bagwell with it, he told me at The SHOT show that it is tough stuff. Surprising, considering he used to preach against stainless in his SOF articles.
