And does the handle have the exact same shape as the E4 handle except being a bit thicker?

Re: Pacific Salt 2
Thanks! But may I ask: Is the handle actually thicker (so has a bit wider "spine") compared to the E4 handle? I seem to remember Eric stating something like this in some vid (that the linerless Pac Salt 2 handle, while otherwise being similar to the (linered) E4s, had to be a bit thicker thanto get enough rigidity)-
I think an a bit thicker and by that more handfilling E4 handle would be a great thing (i am one of those who really loves the ergos of the linered E4 handle already)

Re: Pacific Salt 2
I don’t particularly like the black screws with the satin blade that I saw in a vid.

Re: Pacific Salt 2
It is - 1st - Pacific Salt, 2nd Pacific Salt 2. Maybe now that I know I'd notice it, but they felt the same to me before I measured / knew there was a difference. I guess that may have been the point / a good thing for sure. The black screws are kinda cool imho.
Re: Pacific Salt 2
Don't know, but the black blade Pacific Salt 2 KnifeCenter description says: ...the black-bladed Pacific Salt 2 takes this enhanced design and subdues it with a non-reflective titanium carbonitride (TiCN) blade coating and matching black coatings on its four-position clip and other handle hardware.
Re: Pacific Salt 2
:D Owners of the Pac 2, please get a magnet and see if it sticks to the clip or not :D

Re: Pacific Salt 2
Hey, All:
Thank you for your interest in the Pacific Salt 2. To clarify, its handle is thicker than the first-generation Pacific Salt--0.43 inches versus 0.41. That makes it exactly the same thickness as the Endura 4. Externally, the handles of the Endura 4 and Pacific Salt 2 are identical. The difference is the absence of stainless steel liners in the Pacific Salt 2. That eliminates internal cavities and metal components that could be vulnerable to rust.
The clips on the Pacific Salt 2 series are currently still titanium.
With regard to weight, the spreadsheet I use for tech specs is based primarily on English-standard input--i.e. inches and ounces. It's also typically geared toward two decimal places for dimensions and one for weight. Those entries are then converted by formulas to achieve metric equivalents. Since some "rounding" of the initial input occurs before the conversion, there are sometimes minor variations in metric weights, but they are still accurate within a gram or so.
Stay safe,
Mike

Re: Pacific Salt 2
I like the handle on the new PAC Salt 2. It looks more finished. The previous model looked to me like someone suddenly remembered they were designing a knife and cut the end off.

Thank your for the information, Mike. The Pacific Salt is my favorite Spyderco to date so I am going to order a 2 now. It’s nice to see CQI at work with Spyderco.Michael Janich wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 8:31 amHey, All:

Thanks a lot for the information!
But I am a bit confused: In this shot show vid (starting at about 17:00) https://youtu.be/FH4Reaq3St0 Eric clearly states that the Pac Salt 2 handle is, while otherwise similarly shaped, indeed THICKER than the Endura 4 handle.. (and not the Pac Salt 1 handle)... ?!

Re: Pacific Salt 2
The post above by Michael Janich says its the same, which based off of the salt 2 and delica 4 I would believe. The post from sal in another thread of him stating the handle is wider I think could be ambiguous. While it seems as though it was stated the handle was wider than an endura 4, I think he might have meant to say its wider than the pacific salt 1.Wartstein wrote:Thanks a lot!

Thanks! But in this vid (starting at about 17:00) Eric undoubtedly is talking about the Pac Salt 2 handle being wider / thicker than the E4 handle https://youtu.be/FH4Reaq3St0
(so not TALLER, but WIDER in the "spine" of the handle)

Re: Pacific Salt 2
Maybe that is what I was thinking of, in that video. If I had to guess I believe he may have mixed things up. That he was indicating it was "thicker" than the pacific salt 1, but instead of saying that, instead said it was thicker than endura 4.Wartstein wrote:VooDooChild wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 1:44 pmThe post above by Michael Janich says its the same, which based off of the salt 2 and delica 4 I would believe.

Still don´t think so, but am sure that Eric intentionally compared the Pac Salt 2 to the Endura 4: In the vid https://youtu.be/FH4Reaq3St0 (starting at about 17:10) he clearly says that the Pac Salt 2 has no liners while the Endura 4 has; that the Pac Salt 2 has a bigger opening hole than the Endura and is lighter (and has a thicker handle) Especially the first two points would not be true if he compared Pac Salt 2 to Pac Salt 1; So I don´t think he mixed things up.
And that would mean that Eric, differently to Michael Janich, states that the Pac Salt 2 handle is similar to the E4 handle, just a bit thicker (and linerless of course). I personally hope Eric is right, for I think a thicker E 4 handle must be great.

Re: Pacific Salt 2
Despite what Eric says, the Pac2 handle is NOT thicker than the E4 handle, so you’ll be disappointed.I personally hope Eric is right, for I think a thicker E 4 handle must be great.
I, on the other hand, am happy about this.
Re: Pacific Salt 2
I'm curious if I'll be able to swap a Pac Salt 2 blade into a G10 Endura handle. Will try it anyway.
