Just bought some chef's knives, they say "Molybdenum Vanadium Steel" "X45 CrMoV 15" which sounds like the sort of thing spanners might be made of!
Dos this mean they are going to be particularly hard or corrosion resistant or something? I presume the makers must have chosen it for some good reason (unless they found a few tons of it going cheap on fleabay )
BTW it sticks to a magnet, but not very hard.
Most kitchen stainless seems to be marked 18/8 (don't know what that means either)
