Found it on Spyderco site, but can't find it on Cartech. Can't find a knife made out of it by Spyderco either, may be in the future. High carbon, stainless steel, with 4% of Molybdenum in it.

Every once in a while I get a surprise finding out some steel being in the knives, when it is really unlikely to be used as such. Hot work, plastic mold steel, 52HRC at best, yet there are knives made out of it. Well, being just a knife steel database host, I had to add it. To be specific, it was Toolox 44 steel, German variation, still within the same specs used in knives.

It's been a while, but I've finally got all the pieces. Handle slabs by John Grimsomo, anodized aluminum. I've made a request for smooth handles and they're smoother than expected, but looks definitely looks different. Well, I can always order a new pair of the handle slabs, they come in numerous patterns and colors from Mr. Grimsomo. He also did reanodizing work for my trusty Benchmade 710 HSSR. Brought a new, fresh looks. Other than that, CPM S90V steel Manix 2, at 61HRC, doesn't really get much better than that, at least as far as that steel is concerned.

For some reason, main record was saying cts-20p, not cp, fixed it. Added few more AFNOR and W-Nr names to the knife steel composition chart.

Fixed very slow query for the steel of the day. Optimized could other areas related to database querying. Page should load in less than a second now, vs. 3-4 seconds before. Fixed bug in top for last 7 days, which was looking only at the last 6 days instead of 7. Still pondering on more stats.
