I just got the word yesterday that my appeal was denied and my Salt 1 has been deemed a "prohibited" weapon. I had ordered the knife back in late August and they finally made their decision. Not exactly quickly, though. I was told that it doesn't mean "all" Spydercos or knives in general, just "that" one, as they were able to "flick" it open. I'm now left with the choice to 1)give up the knife 2)pay to have a bonded carrier send it back to the seller, eventhough it will be fairly pricey due to the fact that it's "prohibited" 3) appeal to a higher office.
Not sure what I'm going to do, but it really bothers me to say the least.
I even suggested to the officer they should send it to a soldier overseas(at my expense) rather than destroy it.

Sal, any chance you could put adjustable pivots on all your knives in the future?
