New Salt sprint run idea

#1

Post by Haunted House »

With the Salt lineup being so well loved, and all the LC200N interest & inquires about it on Salts, I came up with an idea-

How about a Salt lineup sprint run?

Much like how the Seki lineup all got the Hap40/burnt orange treatment- how about the Seki Salt lineup get a sprint run with LC200N & a different handle color?
Maybe something like a neon green handle that would compliment the current neon yellow? Or maybe a turquoise/tropic blue?
“Tropic” version has a nice ring to it.

Being a Delica lover, originally I was thinking just the Salt 2, but it seems everyone has a different favorite Salt model, from the Dragonfly to the Pacific.
If the steel has to be shipped to Japan, it would make sense to send a good bit at once. And rather than make a large quantity of one model, why not make some of all the models, or perhaps just the most popular ones?
(Just make sure the SE & PE Wharncliffe Salt 2 & Dragonfly get some love ;) )

I think it would be really cool, and inclusive for all Spyderco fans. Salt users would get something new and cool/collectible, limited edition collectors would get new versions, collectors of certain models(like Delica, dragonfly, etc) would get new versions, blade steel guys & people who value corrosion resistance would get new platforms for LC200N, Wharncliffe fans get new Wharnies, etc.
Everybody happy happy :D

I don’t know how feasible it is or how much interest there would be, Just thought I’d throw the idea out there.

I would love to see a whole line of LC200n models. A salt 3 in lc200n and I would never buy another knife, but it has to have that FFG

I’d love to see another sprint run of the Spyderhawk, exactly as it was, with a different color FRN.

I'd absolutely use and carry often, a Salt 2 LC200N FFG, green handles, or black, PE and SE. I'd probably carry both of them at the same time.
- best wishes, Jazz.

i’d buy a ffg pe df2 in lc200n in a heartbeat.


edit: but i’d like it to be production and not a sprint. i don’t want anything enough to camp out on a website and fight for my chance at it. not worth it.

I’d be in for a few models. Namely, SE Salt 2 Wharnie, Spyderhawk (both edges if available) and a Dragonfly PE to start...maybe a Pacific Salt PE too. “Tropic” blue sounds intriguing, but I wouldn’t mind the bright green either.

I think a Salt Sprint across all models would be a great idea!

If your proposal means the ffg serrated Endura I am always advocating for would come to life, I would not complain to see it linerless, in LC200N and being called "Pacific Salt 2 sprint run"... :D
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)
