They do, but you probably want to call the dealer to verify what their stock is because it was a rolling change.
Thanks, I though it was odd that an H2 blade came with an uncoated lock bar, since H2 replaced H1.

New Salt knives (black lock bar or plain)?

Does anybody know if the new Salt knives have the black coated lock bar? I'm specifically interested in the Dragonfly Salt PE. I have some Salt knives that have black coated lock bars and some that don't. As I recall, I have a Pacific Salt SE in H2 that has a black lock bar and a Pacific Salt PE in ...

Re: Price increases for 2024

I have only bought sprint runs, discontinued models, or map sale knives over the last two years. It's rare that I will buy a production model at map pricing. Exactly same here. I look for 45%-50%+ off MSRP. I’m way past needs. I am done buying except for MAP holidays. Where is the best place to unl...

"Deals" are pretty crap compared to last year where everything was 50% off. I'm glad I bought everything then. 

Goodluck with the inflation. I'm sitting this one out.

Re: I think we’re reaching the limit

I have quite a wish list, but I'm holding my purchases until the next MAP holiday. I guess I have too many knives and right now other things are competing for my extra dollars.

Re: Looking help & Advice?

I don't know if locking knives are legal to carry in Ireland, if not maybe a UKPK in LC200N.

Have a look at the Sage series.

It's the best substitute I've found for the mostly discontinued but much beloved Caly series.

KC got me for a Fish Hunter and a couple dog tags. I’ve pulled a backup Aqua Salt out of my cart three times already.
Anyone know who is offering the best deal on in stock Aqua Salts? I'm a bit late to the party.

Re: Vehicle knife

A Mora 546 is the obvious answer to me. Probably $12 on Amazon.

Re: How much of your collection do you regularly use?

I use one at a time but may rotate the one I use every few months. My needs for the day may trigger a switch in knives, like a Pacific Salt if I'm headed out fishing. Readily accessible in a drawer right now: PM2, DF2 Salt, Sage 1, UKPK Salt. Most of my knives are never used.

My vote for is for a Dragonfly2 Salt in plain edge. My favorite lightweight EDC knife.

Re: How many knives do you normally carry on you?

I don't carry one everyday. I do when going fishing. I have a supply of knives inside the house, in my vehicle, and in my workshop so really no reason to "carry" one. There is always one close by if needed, typically a Mora if not inside my house or out fishing.

Re: Aqua Salt with other steels? Would you be interested?

I'd be interested in anything without a blacked out blade and would prefer a yellow or green FRN handle. In my quest for a fishing knife I bought a couple of PE Pacific Salts, in H1 and LC200N, because "both" appears to always be the correct answer when having to choose. I also picked up a...

Re: H-2 vs. H-1

Wow, just wow. I just bought a the Pacific Salt 2 PE H1 and the LC200N version was shipped today. Was holding out for the Aqua Salt with a non-coated blade, and now this news. Not sure if I should buy the Aqua Salt or another Pacific Salt 2 H1 to keep as a spare? If the Aqua Salt goes to H2 what are...

Re: Fishing knife

I'm looking for a new plain edged, fixed blade, salt water fishing knife but don't care for the looks of the black blade on the current Aqua Salt. Will the yellow handled, uncoated blade Aqua Salt ever return? What about an Aqua Salt with a LC200N uncoated blade? The Waterway may be an option, are ...

The Waterway hasn't been available for purchase for over a year now. None of the knives I'm interested in are available anywhere.
