Any of the high Nitrogen steels I would be willing to look into such as the Vanax 75 or Vanadis 4, but a recent post on Vanadis 4 many confirmed it is a **** expensive steel.

Would be interested in seeing how Vanax compares to H1, closest we might come to having a high rust resistant Para2.

Interesting. I would probably buy one or 2. Although I do feel that with an M390 and a 204P inbound, the Elmax would probably be wasted and not make the rotation. I would like to see the S90V para 2 make it's way back around. Who am I kidding, I would get one. But let's give it some crazy scales to make it worth it. Digital camo or something off the wall.
Since we are on the subject, An ELMAX Native 5 would get my attention.

I would definitely enjoy an ELMAX Para2. Over the past six months, I have become familiar with using and caring for ELMAX through the Spyderco Mule program and the awesome ZT 0551 and 0560, and I enjoy using this steel very much. I my opinion, it is not as good as M390 (my favorite new "super-steel" BTW), but it offers good edge retention and toughness, as well as the ability to take a wicked edge. As for scales, I'm hoping for the new style "lightning-strike" weave carbon fiber used in the upcoming Szabo or a bright green, along the lines of the blue used in the M390 Para2. Either way, I believe that this steel would make an excellent addition to the Para2 or Military family. :D

ELMAX would be great - but I want to keep the drumbeat going for an M4 Para2. I heard that a distributor might be interested in an exclusive run, but I'm going to keep up the conversation until it gets on the calendar! :cool:

Make it USN forum knife with black blade and I am in. Otherwise I prefer darker colors, except orange. Canvas micarta would be great.
