Using Pumahunters website, i first noticed New Stainless Super Keen Cutting Steel in the 1960's dealer catalogue.
Going through all the other catalogues i also found that it was a forged steel.
The steel is last mentioned in the 1985 dealer catalogue.
So we have a high carbon, high molybdenum forged steel that dates back to as early as 1960.
154CM was used around that time frame by Bob Loveless, so to me it's still a possible candidate.
I'm also wondering about RWL34, a powdered steel named after Bob Loveless.
This steel is also high in carbon and molybdenum, plus it can quite easily take a very high polish.
Problem so far is that i don't know if this steel was available in 1960.
