Was never a space cadet, but with LC200N I might be more in space than a cadet.

There are many steels to try, in addition to those already mentioned above.
Maybe less known or "valuable", but still very good steels.

niolox
nicro100
sleipner
n690co
...
just to name a few that I have tested to make some of my knives.

But in addition to new or never tested steels, it would be interesting to have a line of Mule steels normally used by Spyderco in its knives.
Now I try to explain:
Having a line of Mule (maybe always in stock, in s30v or spy27), to have as a comparison with the new steels would be useful and also the only system to really try a comparison.
(To stay in stock, it might cost a little more than the release price. This is to partially cover the cost of the knives sitting idle on the shelves, but also to reward those struggling to buy them at release. )

PS: I apologize for my English, but I'm writing from Switzerland and I speak Italian.

Agree. I'm searching the forum now to see if others have said similar thoughts. I would like a basic carbon steel (D2) and stainless (VG10); available maybe yearly or semi annual. Having comparison blades in common materials would be great.
