Post by Skidoosh »

K390 level edge retention but stainless?!!
What are you looking forward to in this steel? What models?

Caly 3 is on my list, a Golden Caly.

Not 100% sure but i tought the Caly line was entrusted to Moki in Japan and Spyderco tends to not take models away from their current makers.

What i want to see in the new steel is the Manix family. If Japan would use the steel i would like a g10 Stretch 2 XL in it aswel.

This is my standard request for a Military. I would also be interested in a Stretch2XL. Thanks!

I'm sure just like MagnaCut we will see this in most Golden models eventually. Many of the newer models have not even seen K390 yet, so this is exciting.

I had wondered what the likelihood of a K390 Bodacious was, and this might be more likely to happen.

With everything going on I just hope it's affordable!

I'm plenty happy with regular K390, but... PM2, Endura, Bodacious, Ladybug, Sage2

Now you're talking! Not sure how viable this will be. It's a shame, what a great knife.

Manix 2 LW of course.

But for the most important question... what color will the handles be? MangnaCut got yellow, would MagnaMax look good in a grey?

Para 3 (G10) please. PM2 as well, but I carry a Para 3 much more.

I speculate this would not be a "salt" worthy steel, trading other properties for some corrosion resistance after Larrin "overshot it" with Magnacut lol

I personally love grey handles and that would be my preference if it effectively replaces Maxamet in production. Plus it already had "Max" in the name so it seems like a good transition?

I'm guessing Seki will get a run of this steel at some point (or maybe not?). But I would not complain about a Delica in MagnaMax.

I vote they bring back the old ZDP-189 blue. Very nice dark Navy blue color and it seems like ZDP moved over to British Racing Green.

I would also be totally ok with bringing back Foliage Green.

I don't know if it is possible but a Spyderco Native Chief available in the steels of S110V, MagnaMax, and Maxamet would be great.

I need to get some more S110V Native Chiefs before they become scarce.
