Hey Jenner,
I'm guessing the end of the year or early '09.
Rnr,
We use ZDP (Japanese made steel by Hitachi with "tricky' heat treat) on knives we make in Japan.
S90V (USA made steel by Crucible) is used on knives we make in the Golden facility.
If we do make a Bushcraft model in S90V, we'll more than likely ship the steel to Taiwan as the maker is good and we prefer to use the same maker for the same designs. We currently ship Crucible's S30V to Taiwan for some models.
