I know Chris Reeve and Kizer Cutlery make folders using this great steel, but are any other manufacturers using it? Why don't more knife makers use it I wonder. It sure holds an edge from my experience with it.















 
My Spyderco PM2 is in s35vn .. I like it :)

I've had great experiences with Spydie's and Pro Tech's s35vn.
A Native and a TR-3 have performed really well for me.

Some of Boker's high end "Made in Solingen" knives are S35VN, my Pipsqueak being the best example.
Stay away from the Boker Plus line if you want S35VN, those are mostly 440C.
