This one’s for you, Jazz.

Now that I have your attention, wouldn’t it be great to have this knife in LC200N? This is my homemade wharncliffe salt. What do you say, Sal? Toxic green scales? :)

Re: Good kayak knife?

The Pacific Salt is perhaps the best all-around folder of its size for a true user knife. Lightweight, rustproof, thin, and in serrated it will cut through just about anything. And stays useable sharp for a very long time. Hard to beat.

Re: Rockjumper discussion

Yeah, I've come to the conclusion that there must be some kind of problem getting LC200N Salt blades made with linerless FRN. It's really obvious that many people on the forums want them...not sure why we haven't seen one come out yet. (excluding the Native Salt)

Re: Rockjumper discussion

I like it...I like a lot of the newer knives that are coming out. My only hope is that we will start to see some of these liner FRN knives come out in linerless Salt versions. Please, sal...?

Re: Rockjumper discussion

I wonder if a salt version, which is linerless of course, requires a completely different mold. Does anyone know? It seems like this is a sort of Endela sized knife. I really look forward to giving this one a try. But as many of you all know, I love the Salt versions because of the linerless handles.

Re: Pacific Salt 2

I like liners only when it’s -20° Celsius and below. Little more strength for the brittleness. I love light knives. Don’t know how some people can carry heavy a$$ pocket brick brass handles and such. I actually don’t mind the Delica and Endura liners, though. Not much extra weight, but more strengt...

Re: Pacific Salt 2

I think all delicas, enduras and endelas should be linerless. Lighter, easier to maintain, simpler, etc. The liners aren’t needed. Some people prefer them, but they are 100% unnecessary in my humble opinion.

Re: First Spyderco knife to obtain in 2020?

I'm not buying any Spydercos until they release the LOOOOONNNNGGG awaited LC200N Salts.

Getting a little frustrated waiting so long for a knife that I know a lot of people want.

Re: Linerless: Any issues?

No advantage to having liners in my usage and numerous advantages to linerless. My linerless knives (salts) get used FAR heavier than any other folders I own. I have never had the slightest issue with strength or integrity with linerless frn knives. Same story with G10. The main advantages for me a...

Hoping for more LC200N in linerless FRN...it seems that I am not alone in this...hopefully in 2020...??

FFG LC200N in LINERLESS FRN...in lots of colors and blade variations... :)

Pretty simple, eh?

Delica is my favorite too (Wharncliffe these days)...and the Pac Salt is number 2 (for my robust cutting tasks) :)

Here’s a question. Is the Salt 2 going to get the FFG green handled LC200N treatment? That would be a very much used knife by me. Both PE and SE.
I hope so....and I hope we get a Wharnie as well. The wharnie has become my EDC.

Re: So what's your top 3 favorite steels? and why?

1. LC200N (more in linerless FRN, please)

2. H1 (in serrated)

3. VG-10 (for an all-around cost-effective choice)

My EDC is a linerless Delica Wharncliffe in S30V (oddly enough). But that is only because it is not offered in LC200N...yet!!

Re: Is the Siren a Salt?

All I'm going to say is during these years of liner vs no liner debates, I've yet to hear someone bring up a use case that a linered knife can perform that a linerless can't. If you prefer the heft or feel, that's cool, but there isn't anything Endura 4's can do that E3's can't. Knives with liners ...
