Tinted rows are where these two differ.
The steel difference
Surgical Stainless
The scalpel-blade stock in Havalon, Gerber Vital and Tyto blades. Ground thin enough to be startlingly sharp and brittle enough to snap if twisted.
Stainless
The maker does not publish a grade. Treat it as mid-tier cutlery stainless.
