I was doing some research for a project of mine when I found a steel called VG XEOS in this video. It seemed related to VG Gold or in that family of steels. Couldn't find much data on it beyond it being stainless/corrosion-resistant. If anyone could chime in that would pretty cool i think.
 
It's their newest steel. It is definitely part of their VG series and based on the website probably not PM steel. Based on the description maybe it's an ESR steel. We will have to wait to get more info. It says on the site that they have a registered trademark for the name but I couldn't find an entry here in the US.
 
You can use translated captions on this video

Nvm just saw that was the video you linked lol. It's cool to see Japanese companies branching out into more advanced steel. But I guess Takefu has been doing this (with SG2 at least)
 
I just saw a video saying VG-XEOS is the successor to Hap40.

 
I have composition testing and micrographs done. I should have my article out on it by the end of the month. The easiest way to describe it is 440A with a bit higher carbon and molybdenum, a small vanadium addition, and some microalloying.

There is some interesting metallurgy going on but the steel is pretty boring for knives...not that I'm all that surprised.
