WNL1(PN) - Originally a bandsaw steel. Very tough and easy to forge, with good wear resistance. Rusts easily.
As SAE J438b standard code states:
Mn may be in higher percentage than shown;
Mo and V are optional, as the steels have found satisfactory application with or without those two elements.
Obviously, for knife applications presence of both elements is beneficial.
