I decided to start a new thread to help anyone who uses searches.
I contacted Anolon about their Advanced Cutlery line and it's specific makeup. The following is the reply I received from a representative of their company, Gary Green. My thanks to Gary Green for the information and I hope this helps anyone else who is interested in this info. According to the chart at the bottom this steel is X45 or X50 CrMo V15 steel. I feel it's probably X50 as even the Norpro is X50.

Our Anolon Advanced Cutlery uses German CrMo V 1.4116 steel with a hardness of 56.
Hope this helps.
