BE2604(Bestar) - Oil hardening, cold work tool steel. Can reach 62-63HRC. High carbon steel, although compared to modern alloys it's not really that high with just 0.70% carbon. It does contain trace amounts of V, W and Cr, which helps with carbide formation, and wear resistance, but not really high anyway.
