Please reintroduce Aqua Salt? =)

Please reintroduce the Spyderco Aqua Salt? One of the greatest knives ever designed, invented, and produced. This would be a great thing :)


Any thoughts? Others agree?

I'm in the middle of a move and the Aqua is the only "kitchen" knife I've used for what will be 4 weeks. It is the serrated version, and after using it exclusively now, I wonder why I have a set of kitchen knives at all. The Aqua is ergonomic and has maintained a tomato slicing edge like none other.

I'm very glad I picked up mine when I did. I don't need another, but would highly recommend them to anyone. It is the PERFECT camping cooking knife!

I totally agree! there really isn't anything in the Spyderco line-up that replaced it. Please bring it back!

There was one for sale on BF a few days ago...not sure if it's still there. It would make a great camping knife.

Of all my Spydies this is my most hard used knife. Certainly in my top 3 favorite Spyderco's (and I have many). Have multiples of both the PE and SE in both colors. One of each stays on my boat. When people not familiar with this knife pick one up and use it, they always comment on how great it is. Have given several of these as gifts to family members and close friends. The ergos are great, the blade shape and handles superb. Thank you Sal for designing and marketing such a fantastic knife. Around the salt water environment they are the best. I only wish this knife would have been available 25 years earlier when I commercial fished. This knife is on my must have list. Good luck to those searching and finding this knife, you won't be disappointed.

I would buy one. Have been looking for 6 months and still can't find one I like to buy at a good price. Yes to a run of salts!

Not really a replacement, but the yellow Sheepsfoot Enuff looks like a solid water knife. I like the extra length and heft of the Aqua, but the scales on the Enuff are terrific...

If they made the drop point in H1 you'd be talking.

The Aqua Salt is one of those knives that I didn't buy when they were available, and can't understand now why I didn't.
I would definitely like to see them return, but I suspect slow sales is why they have been discontinued.

Traded my PE one for a SE Pacific. The sheath is a bit meh and I prefer the serrated one over PE. Out of seawater there are much better alternatives imho.

PE Salt, prefer the SE for bait cutting and gutting fish to pack

This from the Spyderco website. The SE of this model gets crazy sharp. Pretty clear I'm not a photographer :o

I meant to get one and didn't do it when they were available. One of my few regrets over missing a knife. Yellow SE, please.
