Any CTS-XHP knives comming up

This steel may not be "hot" anymore with the many new steels these days, but I really like this stuff.
Not bad to keep sharp, gets screaming sharp, holds up even with thin stock (Chaparral), stays sharp long enough for me, is stainless.

Oops forgot to add about a year ago Sal mentioned a smaller version of the Hundred Pacer was coming might be CTS-XHP.

I am with you on this BTW fantastic steel but I think Carpenter is having trouble supplying it which is why Cold Steel switched everything to S35VN

Foundry used xhp as well as the excellent cutlery shoppe para 3 and pm2 exclusives.
The foundry is discontinued and can be found if you look hard enough. I would expect a para3 lightweight from cutlery shoppe soon.

I absolutely love this steel. I've had great experiences with it in sharpening, edge holding, edge stability (cutting through large extension cords containing 4 large copper wires with no edge damage), and corrosion resistance. The 2 blades I've used are DLC coated, but I had extremely few stains on the bevel after saltwater exposure.

One of my favorites steels that Spyderco offers. Ones I have are:

Manix LW
Rhino
Chaparral LW

Currently have the Chaparral LW in my pocket. Wife & I visited an apple orchard today and I wanted a knife that would be great for slicing apples.

Have a mule in xhp would love a native in this flavor but it looks like I may just have to settle for a para 3.

I bought two of the CTS-XHP Military models a few years back. I've got one as a back up to my hallowed M390 Millie that I EDC. I don't like it as much as I do the M390 Unit but it's far from being a second rate blade steel. I guess I should carry it more.

I've been wanting to see some main line or Sprint Run models with XHP in Spyderedge. The Cold Steel serrated models in that steel are really good ones. I would love to see a NATIVE 5 or even a Chief in that steel in full SE. But there are a lot of other great models that they could use that blade steel in>> but again I would love to have a serrated EDC in XHP and I hope it happens soon.

Don't forget the Domino. For me it's one of Spyderco's better flippers that also work well with the Spydie hole.

There's also the KnifeCenter exclusive Manix 2 in brown FRN. I passed on it when I wasn't yet aware of how good CTS-XHP was. Oh well, can't win 'em all.

I like XHP in the two Chaparrals that I have. I missed out on the brown kc M2 exclusive. I’d be up for more in this steel.
