Im pretty sure it's ATS-34. However, they are virtually the same steels. Just ATS-34 is made in Japan and 154CM is made in the USofA.

On the other hand, I may be totally wrong.

I'm pretty sure you are right. 1998 would have been before Benchmade switched to 154CM. I don't think they used anything else on a 905.

I think any 905 that is has 154cm is listed that way. if there is no markings then it is ats-34. Some were marked as ats-34 as well.

The 1998 model is ATS-34 as already stated.
Here is a catalog scan if more visual proof is needed.

Full sized picture HERE as the forum resizes it to much smaller.
