There is a UK knife seller that has a page providing guidance on steels. It all seems to be aimed at reflecting what marketing depts say about their products. As you say, 440C was once super. VG10, 154CM et al seem to now be regarded as Premium, having lost their super status to the new kids on the block. The reality is that some consumers are always lured by the latest, greatest product, and will sing its virtues to the skies. Until the next one arrives.I can speak on "super" steels since that is the topic, and what steel is "super" is what steel we are told is super and will pay for.
Remember, 440C was super. Now it isn't. It didn't change.
