Pacific Salt 2
Re: Pacific Salt 2
I was hoping for that wee bit of extra thickness, just like the Salt 2 compared to the Delica.

Re: Pacific Salt 2
To avoid any confusion, the handle thickness of the Endura 4 is .43 inches, plus or minus a few thousandths of an inch. The handle thickness of the Pacific Salt 2 is also .43 inches, with slightly more variance along its length, but still within a few thousandths. Their profiles are identical. For all intents and purposes, the handles of the two knives are dimensionally the same.
Stay safe,

Thanks for the final clarification!

Re: Pacific Salt 2
Wouldn't it be great to get a liner-less Endura. Or better yet - aliner-less Endela would be suweeet.
Re: Pacific Salt 2
It would! Or basically an fgg Pac Salt 2 (and make it SE... :rolleyes: )

Re: Pacific Salt 2
Maybe someday we will get an Endela sized Salt. Why not?
Re: Pacific Salt 2
I think all delicas, enduras and endelas should be linerless. Lighter, easier to maintain, simpler, etc. The liners aren’t needed. Some people prefer them, but they are 100% unnecessary in my humble opinion.

Re: Pacific Salt 2
Linerless for me too, which is one reason I prefer the Salt series. I'm positive the liner models are great too though.
Re: Pacific Salt 2
I like liners only when it’s -20° Celsius and below. Little more strength for the brittleness. I love light knives. Don’t know how some people can carry heavy a$$ pocket brick brass handles and such. I actually don’t mind the Delica and Endura liners, though. Not much extra weight, but more strength.

LOL, yeah...I don't have that problem in SoCal. But I see your point about the cold weather.Jazz wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 7:33 pmI like liners only when it’s -20° Celsius and below.

Re: Pacific Salt 2
I started a thread about this very topic (see link below) quite recently. There Sal said, he'd watch sales of the Endela before thinking about a Salt version

Re: Pacific Salt 2
Here we go:
I just opened the Pacific Salt 2 and my initial findings are positive. Spyderco has made some nice subtle CQI changes to my favorite model by using the endura 4 handle. The blacked out back lock and screws are a nice touch too. I will always cherish my Pac 1 but I’m probably going to retire it and start carrying the 2.

Re: Pacific Salt 2
Is it just my eyes, or is the blade shape a little different, especially near the tip?

Re: Pacific Salt 2
Gotcha. I didn't know if I was just seeing things, but I thought it looked different.
Re: Pacific Salt 2
Pac Salt 2 SE Black is now available through SFO. Should be on the way to dealers.

Re: Pacific Salt 2
Can anyone tell me the width, or maybe it's considered height, of the widest/tallest part when the Salt 2 is closed? Basically the dimension from the top of the hole to the outside of the handle when it's closed.
Thanks
Thanks
