I've been hoping for the same. Manix XL would be the dream but I'd be interested in any model just to try 3v with a Spyderco heat treat.
I second this.

Seems pretty suitable to me.

I just ordered this one. I now wonder if it's legit. What do you guys think?

I'd be all over a 3V Manix XL, Police, Street Beat, Temperance or a new fixed blade design.

I'vw had really good results with my 3V SRK's and SRKC's, and in my experience Spydercos usually runs their steels a little harder and thinner than CS. I'd like seeing what they can do with the steel.

I do love my Temperance CruWear SE, so much so I bought 2. It would be so much fun to try 3V SE in conjunction with the Temperance's gorgeous serrations and a good Spyderco heat treat.

I know this sounds crazy, but 3V would be excellent for a straight razor.

Buy some delta 3V from Carothers and use that in a Chief.
Regular 3V or Delta 3V from Carothers, either one in the Native Chief would be OK by me.

After the take up of BBB 15V knives, I think there is great potential for a Delta 3V (Carothers) Native Chief or many Delta 3V Spyderco knives.

If Spyderco doesn’t make one I’ve been looking at the mini Pendleton or PSk by Bark River. Might consider the one suggested above. But really hoping for a Spyderco in 3V
