I saw what looks like a delica today, full serations, looks like the steel type was S-2. Is this somthing that has been sold recently? It's the first I've seen S-2.

I passed on that, but picked up a Police in ATS-55.
 
GIN 1 was called G-2 for awhile. Scratches can make the G look like an S sometimes. I have one that is like that just from the use of opening and closing the knife over the years. G2/Gin 1 was the premium steel used in Spyderco knives for the first several years. It was/is a good steel and some here still prefer it over some newer, premium steels.

As a note Spyderco never used cheap, poor performing steels. I still carry some of my oldest Spydercos in Gin 1 despite having newer models available to me. I can rotate my knives without worrying about any kind of performance loss. Joe
 
I'll bet your right, it was probably just worn.
That would explain me not finding any info on it.
thanks.
