Cool, my current Dragonfly is AUS8. ATS55 should be great!

Hmmm... The description and spec list on the order page both say that the Dragonfly steel is AUS-8:

Spyderco began with an AUS-8 stainless steel blade and added a lightweight Carbon Fiber handle.

What's the real deal???

Who you gonna believe, us or Sal? We pulled these specs straight from Spyderco's site, but when Sal says that they are a different steel, they are a different steel.

I'll be changing the specs in a little while.

Spark - the steel should be stamped on the blade. (except for the Ladybug which is AUS-8). The site is probably not up to date. One of the disadvantages of "Too many SKU's)

Well Sal, you let us know if you want your site redone. We'll have the server this week.... all we'll need is one of each knife when they come around.
