Well, to be precise the info was about Metal Ravne OCR3 tool steel, which is also DIN 1.2008. Apparently it was discontinued 10 years ago by Metal Ravne, but still very decent steel and knives are made out of it, at least customs.

Larrin(from KF and BF) was nice enough to let me use his work. Proper definitions of such important terms(for the knives at least) as wear resistance, toughness, strength, edge stability, etc were added.

Added about 180 new names for CSN, DIN, W-Nr and GOST standards to existing steel compositions. So, for now you can identify about 1800 steel names! Never thought there were so many steels used in knives though. And by my rough estimates that's not even 60% of the names for the ones that are already in the chart. I'm still missing bunch of standard names for many steels, nevermind the fact that I only have the most widespread standards.

Bohler-Uddeholm high nitride Vanax 35 steel. Makers are starting to experiment with new hi tech steel, whichis always a good news.

After 6 month I finally found more info on that mysterious steel :) Well, it's nothing mysterious, Metal Ravne makes it under OCR3 name and it's DIN name is 140Cr3. Anyway, nothing huge, but still, I'm glad I found additional info I was looking for.
