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.

The single steel mode displays all the notes associated with the steel group, not just the note for the single record. E.g. when looking at CPM 10V or K294 or any other alloy from AISI A11 group you will see notes for all of them, not just one. This was done to be able to see notes for the steels that have associated names, but share composition with other steels.

Finally, after long wait and all the complications, Nenohi Nenox S-1 gyuto is here. I was always iffy about them Nenohis, but one thing is for sure, they are superbly well made knives. Fit and finish are top notch, so are the design and ergonomics. At least from the first glance.
