Question for Sal (or anyone else in the know). Could you please confirm the blade steel that's being used for the Lil' Nilakka flash-batch?
I've seen preorder listings for both RWL 34 and CPM S30V and was curious what the final decision was. Thank you in advance.

In a video for Going Gear SHOT Show 2017, Eric showed it and on the blade it says CPM S30V
 
I'm definitely hoping for RWL-34 since it'll be less chippy with thin edges.
 
Me too wire edge.

I've seen the same BrandoSpoke, as well as the photos from the Amsterdam meet that show the S30V stamping. I figured that was just the prototype being shown though. The 2017 catalog however lists RWL 34 as the blade steel, which leads me to my confusion.

Could be but S30V seems to be a weird steel to prototype with cause its more expensive than other steels
 
RWL-34 per Kristi on the Spyderco forum. Can't find the original post where she clarified, but there's this.

Edited to add: Found it.
