Stainless steel liners?

Most companies make liners from stainless steel, but what is the name of the steel?
I heard that most companies use 420J is it true?
 
I believe that is one of the common liner materials. At least one of the 420 variants is common. Is there a reason you are wondering?

Some higher end companies might use something that can get a little harder for liner locks. And some use titanium but that is well advertised if so.

Just curious for what I'm paying.
 
Aside from titanium in a higher end knife there is no reason a manufacturer should put anything "better" than the 420j liners in.
