The AUS Series ( AICHI TECHNO METAL FUKAUMI Co., Ltd. )
The biggest improvement of the AUS series over the 400 Series is the addition of vanadium which improves wear
resistance and gives good toughness. It also reportedly makes the steel easier to sharpen.

AUS-6M
Has .65% carbon, certain elements molybdenum and vanadium added, which is comparable to W.-Nr. 1.4116 ( DIN X50CrMoV15 ).
AUS-8
Has .75% carbon. Cold Steel has made popular use of this steel.
This is tough steel, and holds an edge well.
AUS-10
Has 1.1% carbon. This steel is comparable to 440C stainless.
It has more vanadium and less chromium than 440C so it is slightly tougher, but also a little less rust resistant.
