Pacific Salt Serrated Passaround?

[40mm]

Has a Pac Salt pass around every been done? It's the one knife that I'm dying to try but I have this gut feeling it will be too big for me. I love both the Dragonfly and Salt 1 in their serrated forms, and the Pac Salt threads have always had me curious but the size has always kept me from pulling the trigger. Anyone else have an interest in something like this?

They carry smaller than you'd think. I have some friends with smaller hands that like knives along the lines of Caly Jr, Delica etc., and they both carry and use their pacific salts.

UGH! I'm leaning towards biting the bullet and just getting one. I know I can sell it if it doesn't work out. Seems that the serrated get most of the love, but is anyone a fan of the plain edge? SE or PE, either way I'd ordered the black coated blade

Do it! The current $15 Ebay coupon should have you making a decision before 7pm PT tonight

Bite the bullet. Minus the $15, you got yourself a great knife.

The bullet......has been bitten my friends. That really is a crazy good deal. Thanks for the heads up. Went serrated. Abbazabba your knife looks MEAN!

[abbazaba]

It is mean. And you're welcome, I hate you too :cool:

I'd almost certainly buy it if you don't like it. With the $15 off, MUST be fully SE.

In for the passaround, thx! :D

I love the PE black blade Pac Salt. I also will definitely get a SE someday soon. It has been hard waiting, and the Spyderhawk Salt has made my decision tougher. One of the two is next on my list.

I like the PE and carry it often. SE does hold an edge better but for some things I prefer PE. For most things either edge type works fine. PE still sharpens up like a dream and gets through a days work for me without issue.

To sharpen the SE Pacific Salt, once it needs it, try the 15 degree slot on your sharpmaker. That's the angle mine is ground at.

[cabfrank]

I have the old Sharpmaker, with only one angle setting. It still works though, but I'm sure the 15 degree angle would be better.

One thing the SE PAC Salt sucks at

It will still cut very well using the 20 degree setting. The edge on SE knives is much thinner than comparable PE models, so no worries.

[cabfrank]

Thanks, Vivi.

[Evil D]

I only ever use the 40 degree setting on serrations.

I'll keep you in mind brother. I'll be comparing it directly with an identical black coated, serrated Salt 1. I'll post up impressions in a few days.
