I'm leaning toward the Salt because I generally find flatter edged handles more comfortable to carry.
They're still around if you look.

This part rubs against my sides and gets uncomfortable especially when I'm driving. Today I knew I'd be in the car for 4 hours so I switched from the Manix 2 I carried on my morning hike to my Drunken because its handle shape is (much) more comfortable when sitting for extended periods.Wartstein wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 11:52 pmSorry, but I don't fully get what you mean ... ?bbturbodad wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 11:31 pmThanks guys!

I have Not had that problem. I find it carries very comfortably in my waistband or at least a Delica does. I personally like the longer handle because my hands are fairly large.bbturbodad wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 12:17 amThis part rubs against my sides and gets uncomfortable especially when I'm driving.

That's really interesting! Wouldn't have guessed that from the pics...
Jazz, I know you’re an old hand with the Salts, but are you certain that’s true? I’ve owned a LOT of serrated Salts and I have found they ALL have different levels of serration depth and “aggression”. I could be wrong but I believe this is due to the fact that the wheel used grind the serrations wears down over time and knives ground on a new wheel will have a different serration depth (and angle) than knives ground on an older wheel.
I carry a Salt 2 IWB (at 1:00) on a regular basis, often for extended hours sitting in a kayak, and it has been completely comfortable for me.bbturbodad wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 11:31 pmThanks guys!
I'm torn because I have a fairly "meaty" hand (thick fingers) so I wouldn't mind the longer handle of the Salt 2 but I find most knives with rounded (I call it pointy because starts jabbing into me by the end of the day) handles uncomfortable to carry IWB which is how I carry.
Oh and yes, the Salt 1 is still around and the sale price of $70 is what caught my attention![]()
I never had a Salt, but again just from the pics I'd say the serrations of Salt 1 and 2 are done in the exact same way. .. are you sure that they are different in reality??
