Frankly, I wish it had a coated blade. This steel and the way it was polished made it really tough to shoot a decent picture (with my skills and amateur equipment)!

PM2 Salt is an automatic purchase for me.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2023 Report
looks good to me! and you don't really have to worry about it too much. this knife definitely speaks for itself since many of us have been waiting for this kind of news since we first saw the lc200n native salt.
a lot of people think salts don't need to be coated, but i'd rather have a bright color on the handle and not have a satin blade than the other way around. bright g10 is less attractive to aquatic life than shiny metal.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Lil’ Native Wharncliffe – Spyderco Design Production Sample 2023
The Lil’ Native is an established design and this new version with a Wharncliffe blade will undoubtedly appeal to many fans. I liked how the compact Lil’ Native offers such great control of the Wharncliffe blade. It remined me of the original C75 Kiwi design, but with a much more substantial and ergonomic handle and blade. Eric explained that the edges are done by robots, so each knife has a very consistent crisp edge angle.

Overall: 5.86 inch / 149 mm
Blade: 2.44 inch / 62 mm
Edge: 2.02 inch / 51 mm

Steel: CPM S30V
Weight: 2.5oz / 71g
Grind: Full-flat
Lock: Compression
Handle: G-10

Clip: Tip-up
Origin: USA
I have no information on pricing or release dates.

I'm really doing the math and imagining a SE MagnaCut Military 2 Salt and it's so much to process.

Bedankt and thanks again for all your contributionsMr Blonde wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 12:24 pmI used a portable digital scale, with all its inherent inaccuracies, but it turned out I misread the notes. My apologies. It is -or rather is more likely to be- 2.96 oz / 84 g. I’m sure Spyderco will note the ultimately correct weight for this knife. I’m sorry for any confusion. I already corrected it in my post. Still, I cannot emphasize enough how incredibly light this knife is, considering that large blade.
At this 84g weight, it'd still be barely heavier than my Chaparral. That's pretty **** good and I'm sure waiting for the chance to order one.
Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2023 Report
i had this thought too. that would be seriously compelling, especially with this g10 texturing. i'm also wondering if we'll see a caribbean update with the same texturing.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2023 Report
Well the PM2 Salt is sure a bombshell. Personally glad to see it's a G10 handled one like the Caribbean. Bet we won't see it for a good while, but I like it.
Because desolate places allow us to breathe. And most people don't even know they're out of breath.

Another positive thing, IMHO, is how the Wharnclife blade doesn't look obnoxious - unlike on many such knives.Mr Blonde wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 1:32 pmThe Lil’ Native is an established design and this new version with a Wharncliffe blade will undoubtedly appeal to many fans.

It sits pretty naturally between the scales, not riding them too high.

Re: Spyderco Amsterdam Meet 2023 Report
Love the profile of that Lil Native Wharncliffe. Sure wish it had a thinner blade though, say 2.5mm.
Fingers crossed, maybe the Lil Native LW will get a Wharncliffe variation.
