Salsa!!!

#1

Post by v8r »

I finally found one,and it came in today.I have been looking for one for a long time,and its green! My favorite color.I purchased new in box shipping and everything for $62.00. It's a cool little knife.It had a few minor little spots of rust on right hand side of the blade from handling.I took some flitz polish,and it took most of it out. The place I bought it from was SoonerStateKnives.com. They have really good prices from what I can tell.I also purchased my Spin from them at a gun show last weekend. :cool:

Right on! I feel the Salsa doesn't get much love around here but it is personally one of my favorites. Enjoy it!

It still gets a lot of love from me, I use it often in my rotation.

It's a stout little blade with an ergonomic handle, and a comp lock. Add in the lightness and the fact that the FFG blade cuts with the best even though it's "inferior" steel (AUS-8 on the alum model), I'd vote it as one of my favorites. I love the belly on the blade too :D

The Salsa is a unique little blade. Enjoy!

I thought Spyderco was supposed to revamp the Salsa?

I would like to see that!
I have a few, but do not care for the high riding clip & hood.
Am sure those issues would be taken care of if they did another run.

I think they did. I was under the impression that the Spyderco "S" is a revamped Salsa, hence the lack of a Cobra Hood.

At a Denver gun show today I saw something unusual...a knife seller had a Ti Salsa that had a SE Dodo blade fitted. He didn't know who did the conversion, but it was neat to behold.

Now that seems like it would be a very complicated modification as the Dodo is a ball bearing lock and the Ti Salsa is an integral compression lock.
