Re: yojimbo salt
I would love to see the Yojimbo 2 get the full Salt treatment: an LC200N blade, liners & hardware made from "marine-grade" super duplex or super austenitic stainless steel, and a ceramic detent ball. I can go either way with FRN or G10 scales, but I would prefer a low-profile colour in keeping with the personal defence theme (plain black or if it must have a colour, have it be a subdued shade of blue, green, or brown).
That said, I am happy with my all-black Yojimbo 2... S30V is more than "stainless enough" for 99% of what I use a pocket knife for, and the DLC coating (on the blade, liners & all the hardware) probably makes it practically rustproof in perhaps any carry context that doesn't involve extended periods of full immersion in saltwater.

Pretty sure the liners and junk have to be made out of LC200N as well.

Re: yojimbo salt
What if liners ill be made of titanium like in Mike Snody custom Yojimbo? Can they corrode? How much weight can titanium liners possibly save?

how about VANAX SuperClean?
