Any plans for a Pacific Salt with E4 type handle?

[LightHearted]

I would love to have a Pacific salt with a "volcano grip" type handle like the new E4. The new style handle is way more grippy than the old style. It seems to make perfect sense, since the knife is designed for use in wet environments. What do you guys think? Doesn't the Pacific Salt deserve a yellow E4 handle?

There's too much steel (the liners) in the E4 handle for a 'Salt' knife.

Couldn't H1 or some other rust resistant material be used in the liner as well? It might be more $$, but I'd like to think that with Sal all things are possible. If not, how about at least put the volcano type texture on the E3 handle for a better grip?

My Dear Friend,

I suppose either H1 (or titanium) could be used as a liner and other parts. I don't know if the increased cost would be worth it for most ELUs, but I for one would LOVE to see such a knife, preferably with the Emerson Wave added. :D

I'd prefer it to be liner less, it'd keep it less complicated.

But, Sal has said before that making the new molds for FRN is very, very expensive. ($30,000-$50,000, I believe.) Thats why the Salt series uses the gen3 handles.

I asked the same thing not too long ago.

Make a SS version out of solid H-1. Etch the handles like the etched Cricket. Rust proof and handsome.

That would be sweet indeed! I however love the current Pacific Salt. It's what I always wanted the Endura to be. Lightweight, no maintenance, ea$y to replace, tough enough for my everyday uses, and now it's rust proof, and with a strong titanium pocket clip to boot!
