I'm looking for some good steels for spyderco knives to help me make a good decision on a new knife. Please name the pros and cons of the steels. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

When it comes to spyderco knives as with other trusted companies, I don't worry as much about steel as I do the design and build quality. I had an old delica3 for six years that was my only knife and took everything I wished out. It was ats-55 which is probably not considered a high end steel now days.

Spyderco lets you know which knives are made of quality steel by putting this mark on them:

Agreed. S30V is the best all-rounder they offer. Since the OP didn't mention any particular properties of steel he wanted, I would go for that one by default. S90V is only good if you can sharpen it. If you can sharpen it easily, even that might not be enough.S30V is a great steel IMO
