Re: S45VN
I posted a similar topic recently. The answer seems to be that they'll cross that bridge when they get there. There don't seem to be current plans to switch more models over from S30V to S45VN but anything is possible. That's something I like about Spyderco and keeping an eye out for "casual bombshells" from Sal is fun.
I still haven't tried S45VN but between Knife Steel Nerds and other sources, I'm definitely interested.
I'd love to see S45VN, SPY27, or S110V as a more stainless alternative to XHP on the Chaparral.

Re: S45VN
There is no reason for it to be expensive, IIRC Larrin wrote something to this effect.

Re: S45VN
Replacing S30V in some regular production models with S45VN has only happened for G-10 models of ParaMilitary2 and Para3. The rest is speculation.

I know there has been a lot of talk about two other steels: SPY27 and MagnaCut. Let’s see what the next Reveal has in store.

Re: S45VN
Yeah, the magic isn't in the ingredients like it is with S110V. It's in the proportions.
Re: S45VN
Well, if they release the Shaman in s45, I guess I'll be buying another Shaman. Other than that, S30V works just fine...otherwise I wouldn't have 2 S30v shamans! Haha!

Re: S45VN
I'd happily pay s110v prices for Magnacut. I hope that Larrin is getting a decent commission on the magna cut sales, and I'm happy to help reward him for developing it, and to pay for a larger profit margin for Spyderco for using it in a production knife.dj moonbat wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 8:08 amYeah, the magic isn't in the ingredients like it is with S110V.

Thanks RamZar, this pretty much answers all of the OP's questions in regards to S30V.
Now what about S35VN? Does it have any future in the Spydiverse at all, with S30V and S45VN, plus SPY27 and MagnaCut aka Larrinite?

Spyderco went back to S30V from S35VN on the Native5 a few years ago.

Re: S45VN
So, most of you folks seem to be reasonably pleased about the coming of S45VN? I guess I just haven't caught the 45 fever yet. I wish someone would talk me into it. I'm sure it's good; maybe if it had been introduced a year ago I'd have gotten on board a little faster. Not sure what it offers above and beyond SPY27. A bit more corrosion resistance, maybe?

I thought that SPY27 was supposed to be highly corrosion resistant? I would have thought better corrosion resistance than S45VN, though the latter’s corrosion resistance is supposedly improved over both S30V and S35VN.
