S7 Steel

Many years ago I knew an old man that made some knives out of what he said was old cross cut saw blades. He claimed that it was the same as S7 steel. I am wondering if anyone uses this steel these days?
 
I think it unlikely that a saw blade would be made from shock resisting steel. It would also be an unusual choice for a knife blade.
 
I believe the S7 was often used on blades for cutting cement and such. I can remember one maker who was using it exclusively for knives.. Frank
