Re: Spyderco Swick

Hi Sal, a swick in lc200n plain edge would be fantastic, maybe just a slightly longer blade, say 2.75 inches, plain edge. Maybe a spyder edge h1 and call them the salt swicks or salt swick 5. With the longer blade I think it needs a sheath, with multiple mounting/carry options. I would definitely us...

Re: LC200N boat knife for salt water

Thumbs up for the lc200n mule. I bought two and have kept one original with some scales and the other one I have cut down so the blade is just over a half Inch wide. I cut through just under the spydie hole and that feels like a nice thin delicate fillet blade but i haven't had time to finish the pr...

Re: Catcherman Sprint

That sounds great Sal can't wait for lc200n plain edge versions of the salts it just makes sense to go lc200n plain edge and h1 for se. I wonder how thin the lc200n can go in a catcherman, sub 2 mm would be fantastic. I am currently cutting down one of my mule teams in lc200n to do my own fillet kni...

Re: Catcherman Sprint

The usn catcherman was unavailable in australia when it was released due to some archaic legislation dreamed up by some bureaucrat that outlawed the importation of single handed opening knives with a blade longer than I think 3 inches, can't remember the exact length. Anyway I would definitely have ...

Re: Catcherman Sprint

If the catcherman was not such a good seller it may have been due to two main reasons. Firstly a fillet knife tends to mainly see use around water in fishing based activities and rust is a major factor, the early catchermen were not corrosion proof and to me at least that is a complete waste of time...

Re: Catcherman Sprint

An lc200n catcherman would be a fantastic knife. The catchermen would be a natural for lc200n and i would definitely grab one.

Re: Salt Series UKPK

Hi Eee, thanks for the reply, no salt knives in England that you can carry legally that sucks. I am actually quite interested in your laws as i am looking at purchasing a canal boat in Nottingham from David Mawby. I hope to be cruising your canal system in a narrow boat in about a year from now. If ...

Re: Salt Series UKPK

Count me in for a ukpk in lc200n it would almost be an oversized dragonfly. My ukpk s110v is a great knife, good size blade and light for its size. A ukpk in lc200n would almost beat a dragonfly in lc200n it would be close. I'll have both please. Are there any other salt series knives that are legal...

Re: How about an American fixed blade?

I'm with vivi on the lc200n swick preferably with a three inch blade. Great security especially for water based activities but with the edge retention of lc200n it's a great all round knife not just a salt style knife. Something that many may overlook is the fact that corrosion attacks the edge on y...

Re: Petition: make all PE Salts in LC200N

Thanks Sal, I just saw your reply. The dinghy is built a little differently to your conventional catamaran. After settling on the most efficient design that could still carry a small payload reasonably well I made a plug for a mold from some cnc cut frames. The mold is just the hull below the bridge...

Thanks surfingringo the dinghy is a step up from the adventure island and the hobie outback I had before it. Although I would have an adventure island back in a heartbeat if I could store it conveniently on the boat. It was just too big but it is the most fun you can have with your pants on, it's a ...

Re: Petition: make all PE Salts in LC200N

PLAIN EDGE ONLY couldn't agree more!!! It really makes sense to use the "better" steel for each blade type. To keep everyone happy how about a combo edge with a laminate of lc200n and h1 with each steel in the respective area of the blade to maximize performance, I wonder if it could be do...

Re: Neck Knives

Maybe the pe swick in lc200n and the se swick in H1. That would be the best of both blades with the best steel for the job. Makes sense!!!!

Re: Spyderco Caspian Salt: My favorite

The caspian salt in lc200n would be great. A definite must have and a timeless design. A mariners prayers answered all in one knife that would be good all round for aquatic activities. A blade fine enough to get away with taking off the odd fillet, yet tough enough for diving with a pointed blade li...

Re: Neck Knives

Sal an even better idea might be a caspian salt and swick combo package. The caspian salt was a knife before its time it needed lc200n to really make it a great knife design that would perform better in the plain edge portion of the blade. the caspian salt in lc200n would be awesome especially with ...

Lc200n in the ukpk would be brilliant. A dragonfly in lc200n would be great also. I have the never summer in lc200n...

Re: Name your own Sprint Run!

Dragonfly with lc200n or native in lc200n. A catcherman in lc200n would be great too.
