Salt 2 vs Delica 4

[ammatt99]

Hello, I'm new to the forum and have a question about some knives. I'm looking to get a knife that would be primarily used as a sailing knife and be kept in my pfd. However it would be great if it could also function as a good edc. So far I have been looking at the salt 2 and the Delica 4. Both seem to be really good knives and very similar. So which should I go with? Or does anyone have any suggestions of a different knife?
Thanks for the help!

Salt2 all the way. Great EDC and an absolute must for Sailing. Welcome to the forum!!!

Salt 2 hands down. VG-10 is pretty good at corrosion resistance under normal circumstances but I doubt it will last long if it is getting constantly exposed to water in a PDF while sailing.

I'm not sure if I got a fake, but the PE Salt I got off Amazon couldn't hold an edge if it had vise grips for hands. Although, I have heard that SE VG10/H1 are comparable in edge retention.

Thanks for all the feed back! Sounds like I should go with the salt 2. So do I get straight edge or full serrated?

Get the serrated. It will hold an edge for a long time.

@snowman, sharpen that PE H1 several times and you will notice a huge improvement on edge retention.

Welcome to the forum both of you.

Spyderedge is your best bet ...

Welcome to the forum! And another call for serrated H1 for around water carry. Serrated any steel.
