M2 - Very popular high-speed steel, it can hold its temper even at very high temperatures, and as such is used in industry for high-heat cutting jobs. Not quite knife works, but M2 does have better wear resistance and toughness at the same hardness compared to such a popular knife steel as D2. Makes better blade steel, unless stain resistance is an issue. Benchmade used to make M2 knives, including AFCK, 710 and Nimravus. Note - Si, S and Mn are taken from Crucible specs. Other makers may have different amount. See versions from Latrobe in this database.

R6M5 - Russian equivalent of the AISI M2 tool steel. Although, unlike M2, has 0.50% Cobalt in its composition.
M2 Eur - Latrobe's yet another modification of M2 steel. As the spec states, this version is melted at higher temperature and higher C, 0.05 more than Double Six from Latrobe, gives slightly higher attainable hardness, while sacrificing a little toughness.
