First of all welcome.
That being said, two things,

a. Is it sharp? Can you cut paper, bite into your fingernail or your thumb pad with minimal pressure, or it slips off it? Can you cut a tomato with it easily and without smashing or crushing it?

we can't tell that from pics.

b. Mine is sharp (very sharp, as usual from Spyderco) and has a clear sharpened edge at the end of the grind, meaning I can appreciate two different angles on the very edge with ease.
I'll let pics do the talking



the light shows the two different grinds/bevels

hi, thank you for answer.

it's a second hand, I'm the second owner.

yes, no pb To cut paper or To put on my fingernail.

I Will post better pics

I just received an email of the preview owner : indeed, he has sharpened the blade and was not a pro...

That's a nice knife you have.

The Rock Salt, with H1 steel and black handle was the first iteration.

The Rock, with VG-10 steel was the second.

There was a Rock Salt run made with H1 steel and Orange Handle.

That might be the only Rock/Rock Salt iterations ever made.

all the info above is true and the reason I go the sprint ASAP, because I couldn't find the original H1 Rock.
It seems like the previous owner kind of tried to convex the edge, but that looks like a bit of a sloppy job.
Hopefully he didn't damage it doing that, I'd say try to sharpen the very edge yourself and see how it does

thank you for comments.

I Will try to sharp it

good for you!
But I don't get these last two pics. Is it your latest addition? Your new Endura?
I am really puzzled :confused:
