The next two steels in the mule team project are chosen, and in some stage of production. It will be ZDP 189, and a 9C something steel .
About your poll. Don't you think you should give people a selection of their own? One of those steels, S60V, isn't even in production any more. Joe

M2?
Don't we already have a superior steel with the Mule 2 and its' CPM-M4? I'm well aware that M2 received a cult following with another production company and for good reason. I think Spyderco would do very well indeed by making the CPM-M4 a regular feature in the lineup.

Benchmade already has jumped on the CPM M4 train. They have an osborne, a 710, and are coming out with a pretty heavy duty 4" Lum Ti Monolock in CPM M4. There are rumors of others in the future, though they didn't make the 09 catalog.
I have gotten to like CPM M4 over M2. I have 2 folders in M4 already, and am waiting on the 710, and have the Ti Lum M4 on order already.
I like the edge it takes, and the ease of sharpening for such a high wear steel. No burr problems, and it takes a beautifull, hair screaming edge.
Personally I could do without stainless steels though I do like high performance ones like ZDP, S90V, S110V, SG2, , and yes VG10, and S30V.
I would love a manix class knife made of M4, O-1, or A2. I seem to be one of the few as I see people complaining about some of the better stainless'es corrosion resistance. I think carbon steel/alloys in folders in Spyderco's price range would only be a niche product, with the majority wanting stainless.
I accept I'm in the minority. Joe
