For those on the fence, get the PM2 CO flag instead. I did.

Re: How to take apart the Atlantic Salt LC200N???

Decided to reprofile the blade and really like the outcome.
Now the Atlantic is a couple tenths of an ounce lighter, smaller in the pocket and prettier.

Re: How to take apart the Atlantic Salt LC200N???

I've been marking the blade w/ markers to decide what shape to go with and may try Zenith's or the Yojimbo shape.

How to take apart the Atlantic Salt LC200N???

Looks like the construction of the Atlantic Salt 2 is slightly different than the Pacific Salt 2 and the Salt 2. Aside from the clip being held to the scales by a pair of barrel couplers, the FRN scales seem to have been fused together at the end and I'm not able to pry them apart. How do you guys g...

Re: Endela (-sized "middle ground" knife) in the "Pac Salt family"?!

While waiting for an Endela Salt, I'm thinking of getting an Atlantic Salt PE and then grind down the spine somewhat. I can't stand the look of the Atlantic Salt, or is it just me???

Can we have a Pepper Series of knives (as opposed to Salts)

So I like the lightness of the new LC200N Salt series of knives as both the Pacific and the Salt 2 cut so well and yet so very light, but yet balanced perfectly in my hand. But there are minute differences between these and the Endura and Delicas they evolved from and I understand why the Salt serie...

Re: Lil' Kapara!

A 3/4 scale Kapara Salt in LC200N with larger Comp lock cutout, a tad taller and linerless FRN would be my wish. Want this to be my Catch and Cook knife - cut bait, fishing lines, fillet and prep fish and cut veggies, etc. and yet light enough that won't pull my swimming trunks down (don't want my b...

Re: Pictures of Delica 4 and Salt 2 handle thickness.

The D4 feels like a tank compared to the Salt 2. That's not to say that the Salt 2 feels cheap. It feels very sturdy while also reducing weight and providing a little more thickness for a more secure grip. I say the D5 needs to switch to linerless, too. According to my scale, the D4 is 2.3 oz. whil...

Re: We finally got the UKPK Salt. Thank you Sal

On the UKPK, can you close the blade by just pressing on the spine and snap it closed? Is there any detent along the closing arc to stop the blade from closing with just one press of the index finger?

Re: Caribbean for EDC - Plain or Serrated?

SE seems to be less popular and more available in stock on the hard to get models. I always keep a SE or partially serrated knife handy to cut those nylon straps that go around big shipping boxes and currently use a partial serrated Bailout in M4, and would love to have an Endela LW in LC200N full S...

Re: Simple Endura Mod

It's easy to take it off, and hard to put it back on. I'm not an Endura guy at this point, but I've recently been carrying the LC200n Pac salt, and I actually like the forward point in slippery conditions (which is where I use this kind of knife). I'd rather see it stay, because it's so easy for th...

Re: Cru-wear, 1. K390 & 1095, 0!

You too!? I just dropped my K390 Endela on my foot opening an amazon package. I moved out of the way I thought, but it hit the bed and redirected it onto my foot and sliced my pinky toe. I have it all wrapped up with clotting gauze at the moment. Hoping a wound closure strip will take care of it. B...

Re: Endela (-sized "middle ground" knife) in the "Pac Salt family"?!

I'd love an Endela Salt also. As to the Pacific Salt 2 LC200N, at first I thought it'd be too large to carry daily but I'm now carrying it daily when I take my dog to the trails as there are coyote, mountain lion, etc. around here. And due to it being so light, so much lighter than a regular Endura,...

Re: Manix 2 LW needs an update badly.

I'd love to see a version w/o the forward choil. There's no need for a choil with the ball bearing lock or handles that's long enough for most hands. Then make the spring a little weaker so I can pull the lock bar back w/ just my thumb to close the knife.
