What steel does cold steel use in their hawks?

Aus8, VG1, 1095? I can't find it listed anywhere...

1055. Search terms "cold steel tomahawk", company site, first paragraph.

The 1055 is differentially heat treated. Mine has held its edge well.

They use 5150 on the pipe hawk.

The Cold steel catalog clearly says 1055. I think 5150 is a similar steel.
