That could be a hard question to answer. For what the blades are being used for, I would make a guess that they are L-6 or super L-6, which is 15N20. Both steels are made for very high heat tolerance and are work hardened type steels. As you have mentioned, it is very hard to drill pin holes. Try some of the solid carbide bits and be sure to have the work backed up, when drilling.
