Re: Salty Chap
Yes, everybody! Chap LW Salt was my #1 LC200N request in another thread. I think everyone is awaiting this and the Manix LW Salt. I would think it will be soon.
CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY!
Re: Salty Chap
To be honest: Actually not for me personally. XHP is a perfect steel and rustproof enough for my needs
BUT, that being said: The Chap LW is such a superior and also unique design, even in Spydercos lineup (2mm bladestock in ffg and so on...) that I think it should come in a variety of steels generally, so there´d be more choices for different needs and preferences. LC200N could be the first of those... :D
What I´d maybe personally be intersted in, is more colors for the FRN handle. And a yellow or toxic green colored handle would probably be a positive "side effect" of a salty Chap...

-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Re: Salty Chap
Living next to the Gulf of Mexico I'd be all in on a LC200N blade Chap, getting ready to buy a DF2 Salt SE, need something small and light to carry in the board shorts.

Re: Salty Chap
A light, thin, super stainless knife would be the perfect bathing suit knife for my morning beach walks.

Re: Salty Chap
I'd definitely buy it. Probably multiples. I'd definitely prefer LC200N to H-1 for this one.

Re: Salty Chap
The "Salty Chap", perfect name for a gentleman's folder.
Re: Salty Chap
Yes. I'll add that a Salt knife is different from a knife with LC200N or H1 steel: a Salt knife is completely designed to be used in salt water.
Re: Salty Chap
I love my LC200N knives, and would like a Salty Chap. I would be concerned though with the liner construction and internal stop pin as potential corrosion traps.

Re: Salty Chap
There are an estimated 12,800 miles of coastline here in the US. I think there are tons of people who want an assortment of fully stain-proof folding knives. Other than Spyderco, I don't know of any company that caters to this huge market.

Not saying it can't be done, but these are real vulnerabilities to corrosion.
