NiTiNOL(Crucible) - Crucible CPM alloy, 60% Nickel, 40% Titanium. Discovered in late 1950s, by US naval ordinance lab, which is why we have NOL in the alloy name. Has many potential uses, however manufacturing process is very complicated and expensive. Obviously, very expensive blade material. So far only one maker uses it. Hardness up to 65HRC. High wear resistance, corrosion proof. Variation of the NiTiNOL appeared recently, SM-100 by Summit Materials, LLC.
