What's missing from the Salt line
The Salt series is pretty good and there are sizes from the Ladybug to the Pacific. One thing that is missing is a midsized knife the size of the Urban Light Weight, be it a back lock or a Slipit. I wonder if there are any plans to fill this void?

Re: What's missing from the Salt line
I suppose they could make a Salt Native Chief once the LW version is released. The Salt Police would be welcome in my book.
Re: What's missing from the Salt line
Well, isn´t that void already filled with the UKPK Salt?!
What´s still missing is a "middle ground" Salt knife - for me it should be the Endela (see here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=85893), many would like to see the Stretch fill that role
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)

Re: What's missing from the Salt line
I like the idea of a salty Stretch. Drop point or straight spine?

Re: What's missing from the Salt line
No, the UKPK is a Salt 2 sized knife. The Urban is a good bit shorter and more compact.Wartstein wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 9:26 am

Was not aware of that, thought the two´d be pretty similar (UKPK and Urban)

Re: What's missing from the Salt line
I have Salt 2, Tasman Salt, and Pacific Salt. Also a Manbug with the rescue type blade and half a dozen Hawkbill Ladybugs.
Salts on my to purchase list are the DF2, one PE and one Hawkbill, and a Native 5.

Re: What's missing from the Salt line
The Dragonfly 2 Salt currently fills that size category. There is also a Dragonfly 2 Hawkbill Salt that is available.
There has been speculation about an LC200N Lil Native Salt ever since the Ben Shot Lil Native Glasses were introduced. Maybe that could end up being another addition to that size category.

Re: What's missing from the Salt line
Seems like the Native 5 is pretty close.
All SE all the time since 2017

Re: What's missing from the Salt line
Technically (for some also practically) a really large Salt knife is also missing, right?
The Caribbean could be this when it comes to sole cutting edge, but I mean a Salt with overall millie-ish size (Police Salt perhaps?!)

Re: What's missing from the Salt line
I want to see a Manix 2 LW Salt
Edit:
And of course the Stretch (2)

Re: What's missing from the Salt line
I wouldn't complain if Spyderco only offered LC200N knives going forward.
The Lil Native is a bit girthy for my tastes. I'd love to see something like the Chaparral or even the Baby Jess Horn with a rustproof blade.
Living on the coast I see lots of fellas carrying "gentleman's knives" with rusty or pitted blades. Not necessarily from boating but just the conditions.

An LC200N Chap would be one I'd buy fer shure!
Re: What's missing from the Salt line
Really hoping for translucent FRCP when the LC200n Manix2 LW finally happens.
Re: What's missing from the Salt line
I like that Toxic Green the USN Salt Ladybug came in. A translucent version of that in an M2 would be sweet. I love my translucent 20CV M2. In fact, I'm gonna EDC it for the remainder of today.

I'd also love to see both of these get Salted up!

Re: What's missing from the Salt line
For the Chap Salt, do you make the liners out of TI or do you DLC the normal steel liners? Does it make a difference?

Re: What's missing from the Salt line
I'd assume Ti or LC200N liners.
