I've been beating the drum for more H1 pretty hard on these forums... hopefully not too hard!
I'm curious which knives you other H1-heads would like to see in H1 -- greatest of steels...!
More H1! H1 knives YOU want to see!

i agree that a H1 chokwe would be THE knife!!! maybe SS handle, like the mariner?? the chokwe don't ever clean the rust off of their knives... H1 would be a great improvement to the original design.RamDreamer wrote:I vote for an H-1 Para. And the Chokwe in H-1 would be unbeatable.
for now, keep buying up the current chokwes!

Why don't all of the Salts use the Rescue handle mold? It seems like most regular models are switching to choils.
I'd like to see that, and if possible a general update in to bi-directional grip patterns. It'd probably be cheaper if they standardized all Salts to just a small and large handle without Rescue and plain.
Some models with wire-clips. Maybe make it compatible with the regular barrel-bolts and sell a few SFO only.
A standard shape fixed blade field knife. Something like a Jumpaster or Warrior (full tang and good sized) but with a more regular blade shape in H1 would be amazing. Maybe something Izula-like as well.
One model with slightly different handles. Dunno how, but just that looks nicer but still work-ready so that more people will take H1 seriously for everyday use and not see it just for "dive knives."

I for one would be totally cool with this! I've always found the rescue handle comfier and more versatile than classic E3 style handle used for the pacific salt...chipped wrote:Why don't all of the Salts use the Rescue handle mold? It seems like most regular models are switching to choils.

+1 on that... That's where my H1 Pac Salt is clipped!yowzer wrote:The Remote Release just screams for H1 - a knife designed to be clipped to PFDs and the like?
I can't really see any downside to H1. Using any other steel would be a step backwards, like, I don't know, making steam power engines in cars or leaded paint.
My Pac salt felt a little soft initially on the sharpening steel, but this soon went away and 'feels' as hard as regular stainless.... without ANY staining.
But if Sal is reading and contemplating a priority list,
I'll 2nd; Native, Chokwe
and add to the suggestion list an all H1 stainless Poliwog...they really are an awesome little knife!
H1 Ti Mille would be great - then again there is the issue of the FFG grind in the Millie 
H1 Delica would be awesome - and no... I don't mean the Salt I. I have that one and I abuse the **** out of it. My Rock Salt wil also be suitably abused this holiday season when I will be using it all summer :P well... as much as I am able to anyhow.

1st off: an H1 slipjoint (UKPK design, or something new :) ). Maybe a yellow FRN UKPK featuring H1 instead of GIN-1?
2nd: upgrade the FRN of the current salt folders to the new bi-directional instead of the volcano grip. My Delica 4 feels much better in my hand than my Salt I does, even though I'd take H1 over ZDP-189
3rd: a heavy duty folder with a huge backlock (manix 1 style); full H1 steel liners, lock, and ofcourse blade; topped off with either G10 or CF handles. It'll probably be too expensive to produce though

+1!! that has the makings of the perfect EDC imho, a fairly cheap, simple, light, comfy, trouble free knife! :D my next knife is going to be a gin-1 drop point frn ukpk anyway tho!Whieee wrote:1st off: an H1 slipjoint (UKPK design, or something new :) ).
