I'd like to lobby for what I think would be a true Spyderco dreamblade: a Caly 3.5 in CPM-110V, with navy G10 or carbon fiber scales. The Caly 3.5 seems like an ideal platform for such legendary wear-resistant steel.

Sal, Eric, I hope you are one step ahead of me as usual and already have this deluxe folder in the works for 2014.

Anybody else interested in seeing this one enter the Spyderco lineup?
 
Japan production using US steel I doubt it will happen.It may be possible if they shifted the Caly production to Tiawan. I would love to see Golden produced standard production models in 110V.I wonder how hard Spyderco will run the Native 5's 110V?
 
If only Spyderco model/steel combinations weren't dictated by geography.

As for the Native 5 in CPM-110V, a certain knife dealer's site says it is "expected late fall 2013."

Just an FYI, they are not all dictated by geography. Just anything that has to do with Japan. Typically you won't see a Japanese knife with anything but a Japanese steel, and you won't see Japanese steel on anything but a Japanese knife. Most Taiwan knives have American steels, and Golden knives use American steels most of the time also. Bohler (M390 for example) is a rare example along with some Italian (going off memory) steels as well.

Very misleading thread title especially when you know that a japanese made Spyderco with american steel is more than unlikely to happen. I would change it.

It's considered by them an inferior steel actually. It might never happen simply because of that, the makers in Japan muchprefer to use their own steel.a Native in 110V is on the way, that will be close enough for the majority I would think.

I think that all this correct applicably mostly to Spyderco knives. There are quite a few Japanese made kitchen knives with Swedish steel. Also I saw kitchen knives made in Taiwan and China with Japanese steels. Also there were some folders made in Golden and by Kershaw in US with Japanese steels.

Maybe Spyderco's two makers are very proud, and not all Japanese makers then. Curious, what knvies have been made in Taiwan or Golden and had Jap steels?
 
At the beginning of FRN UKPK production in Golden, knives had Gin1 steel. In the past Spyderco was using ATS34 in Golden. Salsa was made in Taiwan with AUS8 (aluminum scales) and with ATS34 (Ti scales). Also I saw kitchen knives, made in Taiwan and China with VG10.
