    I thought about the Griptilian. Looks like what I wanted, but so does the Buck.

    Spyderco Endura 4; it's an amazing blade for a decent price.

    The blade MAY be Japanese, but they're normally better quality anyway.

    VG-10 is Japanese steel, the OP wants US steel.

    You could get a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 in CPM-S30V for ~$100 if you want good US steel (Crucible is in PA) and made in USA (Spyderco in Golden, CO).

    Lots of good choices ~$50-60 if you will accept Japanese or Swedish steel though.

    Here's the most comprehensive steel article I have found; it led me to my decision. http://zknives.com/knives/articles/knifesteelfaq.shtml

    I have the Spyderco Endura 4 FFG and absolutely love it. It is a far far better knife than any of my Kershaws in my opinion. And I was very skeptical of the Spyderco, until mine arrived and I held it.

    That said, I didn't recommend it because he wants American steel. I won't fault him for that one bit, I suppose- my suggestion? Griptilian!

    Sandvik is a Swedish steel company. They make 12c27 and other well known knife steels. Uddelhom is another one, but I can't name any of their steel "spec names" right off the top of my head.
