Probably good ol' 420 like pretty much all other MT.

Be very careful with grinder, you can ruin the temper before you can say cra-, and it'll never get sharp again.

That'd be my guess

thanks a lot guys, i just brought my stone to the guy that sold it to me and he gave me a "stone brush" when i showed im my dull flik blade. He said that since i had used my stone on my machete (GERBER machete junior) all the tree sap made somekind of crust on it and considerably reduced the effectiveness of the stone. Dunno if that was huge bullsmurf or true but well my flik is now super sharp again
