W310(AISI) - Water hardening tool steel, comes in four grades, Special (Grade 1), Extra (Grade 2), Standard (Grade 3), Commercial (Grade 4). Total of Mn, Si and Cr should not exceed 0.75%.
Overall, it's a strict spec alloy from AISI W1 steel family. Popular with custom makers. I haven't seen W310 specifically stated as a blade material, but the fact is W310 is quite similar with W1 with minor differences in alloying materials, and those are on the positive side at that(more of alloying elements). Decent edge holding and ok toughness when heat treated properly. Can be used in various types of knives, from small folders to large fixed blades. Better performance with polished, thin edges if the knife design allows that.
