Having the chemical composition ain't enough. It's how the elements of the steel are combined to form the steel and then subsequently cryo'ed/heat treated that determines how the steel performs. Plus the number of companies that could afford to even try to copy a custom steel like INFI is pretty small. In the grand scheme, knife manufacturing is not a major consumer of industrial steel.

And then there are the elves...
