While AUS-8 is virtually identical on paper to 8Cr13MoV steel, it’s manufactured in Japan and generally only found on knives made in Japan or Taiwan. AUS-8A is just the name for AUS-8 that has been annealed (cooled slowly to make it more workable) at the factory, which does not affect its performance as a blade steel when delivered on a finished knife.
