Spyderco Forums

I’m always stoked about coated blades and I’m excited for the new ones. I’ve always been a little bummed that there aren’t more coated options in the salt line. Hopefully we’ll see some more!

A lil Native lightweight salt would be fantastic. Hopefully we get both satin and DLC options.

Stretch XL Salt!

I’m always in favor of more salts. I’d buy a Lil and/or regular Matriarch in a salt. Or both.

The Bradford Guardian 5.5 is also excellent. I have the Elmax version but it comes in 3V normally.

When I was in college I had a really nice 16th century hand and a half sword that I picked up from Museum Replicas. That was a long time ago but it was really good quality and very capable as a user, if a bit impractical for the modern world. That was a hefty purchase for a poor college student but ...

I finally found a second Benchmade Nimravus. I picked one up a year ago when they were on closeout and it’s become one of my favorites ever. It just fits my hand incredibly well. I finally found a second one at Fradon Safe & Lock - my first time buying from them and they sure were nice folks!

I hear that the Benchmade Nimravus has been popular with military folks for a while. I picked one up a year or so ago and it has become one of my favorites. It won’t replace the Aqua Salt for me but it’s one of my next most favorite knives for general outdoorsy stuff. The Fallkniven S1 is another on...

I’m finally getting back to responding to the beginning of this thread. 🤷‍♂️ I could “walk away” with three knives. An Aqua Salt for outdoor stuff, a Pac Salt 2 for work, and a Salt 2/Delica for EDC. My usual grab and go knife in the morning was a native salt for my first couple of Spyderco years, t...

The Jumpmaster 2 in H2 is listed in this year’s product guide, so they should be available again at some point.

I can’t sing the Aqua Salt’s praises enough. It’s an awesome knife and was my first Spyderco. It’s definitely worth picking one up.

I feel similarly, I like the St. Nick’s color combo but I only have their Jester - can we get it in a salt? Or at least a stainless? 🙂 The KnifeJoy 20CV Delica and Endura are my two most-carried non-salts (along with my Leafjumper) so I voted KnifeJoy. My absolute favorite, though, is the DLT ladybu...

Manix 2 Salt - my first Manix!
And I finally bought a hawk bill ladybug salt.

Wartstein, that’s a great idea! I’ll have to smooth out the transition on one of my serrated PAC Salts and try it for food prep. Thanks!

I am very excited for some Seki Magnacut, but I don’t think there’s much danger of killing off H2 or LC200N. They’re all very different steels. I’m stoked to have more options in the salt series! With Magnacut maybe we’ll see more people getting into carrying salt knives for EDC, which I hope will o...

It sounds like some testing is in order!

Atlantic Salt, the old reliable work knife.

I’m also of the opinion that Magnacut, LC200N, and H2 are not competitors, nor could one replace the other. They all fill different niches within the salt series, and Magnacut represents an expansion of what we have available to us. It’s great to have more salt-worthy options!

Pac Salt 2. The weight to functionality ratio is impressive, and the blade is long enough to make food prep enjoyable. Likely I would take the FFG LC200N model as it is ever so slightly lighter and the hollow grind on the H1 I find slightly less enjoyable for food prep. PE either way, although to be...

Lightweight Backlock Caribbean.
