Salt Series - Torx Construction.

I remember Sal saying that the Salt series was going to be switched over from Pinned to Torx Construction... Anyone know when this change is going to occur? Been lusting for a Tasman Salt, but I'd rather have it with screws. :P

I don't really like how it is when it's closed or how it carries. :\
Thanks though.

Someone just posted that the MSRP will be $190. Made in Japan, by Spyderco's premier (and generally highest priced) Japanese maker, Moki. Manix 2 in a S30V had a $200 MSRP as does the Caly 3 in ZDP/CF. Exchange rate now may be worse than when the contract for the Caly 3 was inked, or the Caly 3 may ...

Caly 3.5 pricing?

Any word on how much the Caly 3.5 will go for? I seen on YCS for being $103 but that seems really steep for me... I mean the CF/ZDP Caly 3 is $105 and it has, well, CF and ZDP. Is that the actual price? I think it should be around the same price as the manix 2, if not a little less, since it's made ...

Ooo awesome. Are all the H1's screw together now or will the be in the near or distant future? That was really the thing that was holding me back from getting a Tasman Salt.

Why?

Because the Hawkbill is the serration.

Came to this conclusion in Jamaica the other week, drinking rum in the ocean.
Woah. That's a bit too profound for me. Hahaha. I may get plain edge since people are less freaked out by it. :\

To be honest guys, who the **** knows if Ank is actually doing valid tests/received a lemon/trying to make people think twice about buying spyderco/etc., and the best part is, we will never know unless we get some other [trusted] testers that can show the validity of Ank's tests. I must say that ...

If I were using this to cut zip ties i'd only be looking at the serrated. Just my cent and a half. Okay hahahah. ****... I really like the look of PE hawkbills... Maybe I wont eat for a couple of days and get both :D . Also kind of a dumb question, do you think that FRN can break glass IE windows?

It's not BS because H1 work hardens when they grind it. If you have the sharpening equip and don't mind touch-ups the PE is a fine choice. The SE will cut more agressive and hold an edge MUCH longer (at least twice if not more) plus when dull it will still rip/saw instead of slipping. How often ...

The question to stun generations... [Tasman salt serrated or not]

I've been hearing all these amazing things about the Tasman salt and H1 so I decided Im going to get one however, should I get it in Plain edge or Serrated? I read somewhere that the serrated has a high hardness... IS that BS? Thanks. :]

No offense taken man. :D . I just think heavily built folders with blades under 3.5" are a redundancy. Small folders are usually used for light tasks. Unless of course, they are to be used for SD in places with length restrictions. Now you shifted my opinion a bit with the whole heavily built thing ...

I wouldn't buy one with less than 3.5" blade length. Just my opinion man don't mean to attack you, but I think the 3" is perfect for the Little Temperance 2, unless you are looking for more of a defensive blade. almost everyone with the exception of paranoids and anti-tool people accept the 3 ...
