Wouldnt the base version just be in next years catalog at the beginning of the year? Instead of the first reveal?Pancake wrote: Sal said that new Pac Salt will have E4 handle. LC200N with FFG but there is going to be also a H1 saber-hollow grind.
should come in 2020, so I hope in the first reveal next year.
Honestly: If LC200n somehow "behaves" anywhere between VG10 and S30V (the total rustproofness ist not something I personally need), and this would basically be a LINERLESS Endura 4 in ffg (PE and especially SE): I´d clearly prefer that over my beloved current Endura 4 s... (still would keep at least my HAP 40 one for the steel and my Micarta one for the scales)
That is a good question, I never thought about it. We could possibly see the new Pacific Salt in 2020 catalog. That or first reveal.

Im also curious if we ever got a definitive answer on lc200n. I believe there was a prototype. I also believe it was said that it wants to be done. I dont see any reason it wouldnt happen, but from the last few discussions on it I dont recall it being officially confirmed.
I too have hoped for that but I don’t really expect it. I prefer the E3 over the E4 handle because my fingers don’t sit just right with the grooves of the E4. I think those more rounded grooves would solve most of that. But like I said, my suspicion is we will just be getting a linerless E4 handle. Meh, I’m sure I’ll be fine with it.
I agree, they’re already hovering around the $100 price point. I’d like to see them stay under. I know it won’t be long thoughT-1000 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 8:57 amI hope it stays the same just with the E4 handle. The pac salt is my favorite work knives and a thinner ffg blade would take away from that. It is a workhorse and doesn’t need to be made more delicate with a thin, slicey blade made from a super steel that’s going to jack the price way up.
I think the only thing that is 100% certain: The Pac Salt 2 won´t feature an E3 handle anymore... So I am sorry for you! (I personally slightly prefer the E4 handle anyway)
I agree with this, I EDC a Salt 2.T-1000 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 8:57 amI hope it stays the same just with the E4 handle.

The thick Sabre ground blade with the sheepsfoot tip is a perfect design for guys like me that work outside in humid environments and don’t just use their knives for slicing sandwiches.
To be clear: I like the "thick sheepsfoot blade" of the Pac Salt a lot, but may I ask: Have you ever actually used a blade like the ffg Enduras (harder) "outside in humid enviroments"?T-1000 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2019 8:57 amI hope it stays the same just with the E4 handle.
