I think that ATS-34 doesn't really get made anymore. In the US it's been all but replaced by 154CM (which from what I understand is near identical in composition.) and RWL-34 in Europe. Which is pretty much the same as well but with powdersteel technology.
Not much of a problem really though. 154CM and it's brothers do very well as well.
I do like the fact that I got one in ATS though. I don't have anything else in that Steel. I'm starting to (Slowly) develop a nice little variety in steels in my collection.

You may be right Alex, a while back Mr. AG. said the production of ATS-34 in Japan had ended, and the source was drying up.
