Post by TazKristi »

I shared these over at BladeForums and thought you all would like to see them just as much.

Sal asked me to post some pics of a Pacific Salt blade that we recently did some testing on... :eek: :D

Wow that rocks!

Thanks for sharing with us.

May I ask...was it put in a vise and then bent? Do you know what kind of pressure it took to do that?

I'm sure you've had similar examples come through Warranty & Repair with a note saying, "It's only been used to open envelopes..." :D

Wow, amazing!! I would've thought it would snap before that much bend!!
Here is a chance to start some Spyderco Mythology:

...I heard that those bent blades are from the Mighty Sal just cleaning his fingernails!!! LOL :D :D
