Spyderco Caly3.5 Super Blue Steel! KnifeCenter

The KnifeCenter description of this knife's blade (see below link) is that it is: "Spyderco C144GPGY Caly3.5 Folding Knife 3-1/2 VG10 Super Blue Steel Blade, Gray G10 Handles" How can the blade be both "Super Blue" and "VG-10" steel? See link below

The Spyderco Steel Chart VG-10 is described as having 14.5% to 15.5% chromium. In the same chart Hitachi Blue Super Steel is listed as having less than 1% chromium. If this is truly unadulterated Blue Super Steel it is not a Stainless Steel and will be subject to real rust problems. Murray Carter uses Hitachi Blue Super Steel in many of his knives but sandwiches it between an outer layer of soft stainless steel.

I hope KnifeCenter will clarify its description of this new Spyderco knife.
