Just got my Pacific Salt 2 SE from BHQ. Very happy I jumped on it, that is a ton of awesome knife for $40.

The deepest discount of the sale I think at 69% off MSRP. Did it end up being H1 or H2 steel?

Did you have reward points or did they bump the price up? It was $125 +tax for me just now with coupon.

No, I just added the coupon and it took 10% off. It seems to still work for me

You can use LST10OFF23, it's working now

Thank you, Manix 2 Salt for $117.45 plus tax. Didn't think anyone was going to get me.

BHQ has the Pac Salt 2 yellow (H1 or H2?) serrated for $49.99... I'm all set on Pac Salts but still tempting

What is meant by RA surface exactly? I recall hearing Sal state at some point that the fine/ultra-fine is the exact same stone but one gets surface finished to a fine surface. Ra is one of a number of metrics to quantify surface roughness, as defined in ISO 21920. Essentially it is the average of t...

Interesting that the black blade C101PJGRBK2 appears to be screwed construction whereas IIRC the satin blade C101PJGR2 was pinned.

Injection molding isn’t an additive manufacturing process and is even more out of reach to amateur makers than forging or stock removal. Injection molding is absolutely additive and it’s not that out of reach. Some of older TheCrafsman videos on YouTube show some pretty low end production of molds....

(Dack) in fact do carry on-hand inventory.

I stand corrected, they actually do have a storefront. And I found a photo on Google of their Spyderco inventory

Dack doesn’t have inventory, they’re a drop shipper.

What did you think about the images? The images are excellent as usual from Science of Sharp. Always particularly interesting to me is the sectioning of the edge by focused ion beam, and more recently the elemental analysis by EDS. This photo set and its subject steel might be the most captivating ...

Any chance that it's a C11SFG?

It is restricted from being imported due to the Federal Switchblade Act of 1958. Until that law changes, or unless production is moved to Golden, I don't think it will be for sale in the US.

There was also the smooth carbon fiber, satin blade exclusive from I believe knifecenter around 2016. Neat, I either forgot completely about that one or missed it altogether. I’ve seen a few of the gray G10 on the secondary market but not the smooth CF I don’t believe. I have the Crucarta Shaman an...

While we're on the topic, what other Cru-Wear Manix'es have there been? I'm only aware of the purple G-10 but I'm sure there were others...

KnifeCenter smooth black G10 satin & DLC exclusives, and a checkered gray G10 sprint from quite a few years back.

The Itamae knives are clad, OP is asking about full super blue.

I allow myself limited redundancy these days but will be passing on one of my beloved Shaman variants to welcome the PJ version of this into my rotation. Nice work Sal.
