Re: Salt Dreams

In the spirit of the new reveal, a salty, blacked out Temperace 1 would be an awesome successor to the Aqua Salt.

And while we’re all dreaming, how about a Poloce Salt called the “Revenue Cutter” after the law enforcement predecessor to the US Coast Guard?

I’d buy a blacked out Dragonfly salt too.

I love the dyad plus marlinspike idea. And any salt dyad I would find quite useful.

I imagine that we'll be able to entertain these "dreams" when the expansion is complete and the new machinery is operative.

That’s exciting to hear. We don’t mean to be impatient, we’re just excited about the great work that you all do and the wonderful tools that you make for us.🙂

Re: Salt Dreams

You make a good point. A lot of my salt dreams have already come true, too - it’s awesome that Spyderco is as dedicated to salty knives as they are.

Re: Help choosing gift

If he likes to fish, how about a Siren? They’ve been discontinued but are still available, and it’s a fantastic knife designed by a professional fisherman who is a member here.

Alternately, the Salt 2 and Native Salt are both excellent.

I’d buy a Manix XL with serrations if it came as a salt.

These are all fantastic ideas! My personal Salt Dream is still a lightweight backlock Caribbean.

Re: What is the single best spyderco configuration you own?

the Caribbean really works for me . MG2 ^This x2. Criminally underrated knife in the line up. I don't even need the salt rated aspect of it. I'd still fanboy for the design if it was just S30v and black g10. This, but with a backlock (or linerlock) ,would be so great. The rumored lightweight backlo...

Re: Which spyderco is in the mail?

A pair of 20cv Dragonflies. By happy coincidence I found out that the town I moved to has a 2.5” blade limit just at the same time that the 20cv Dragonflies were available. I’ll be carrying those around town for the foreseeable future. 😁

Re: Your favorite color combination?

I’d I had to pick one? The DLT ladybug motif with the black hardware and coated blade is the most striking to my brain.

Teal/DLC is quite nice.

I suspect that a DLC Native Salt would also make my top list, hopefully we see one someday!

Re: Stok

Any updates on the Stok? Is anyone super excited about it after having used it for a while? I stumbled across an article interview with the designer, and I’ll admit that hearing the intent and the design philosophy behind it made me more likely to try one or both eventually. Notably he designed them...

Re: H-2 vs. H-1

I haven’t done any remotely scientific testing but I picked up an Atlantic Salt in H2 as soon as they were available to replace my H1 version at work. I’m still using the H2 and I haven’t noticed any difference, nor have I felt the need to switch back. For my purposes they seem to be interchangeable.

Re: Another run of Whale Rescue Blade is needed.

It just occurred to me that a salt-series machete might be a great place for a combo edge, similar to the proportions on the Catcherman. A long plain edge for chopping and a short bit of serrations on a nice thin 12 inch LC200N machete would be really handy.
