New Atlantic Salt!!!!!

#1

Post by rmc85 »

Well I finally got one! I'm not sure why it took me so long since I live in FL. This summer I went on vacation to Naples for 5 days and not having a knife on me got really annoying. In the past I've just had a cheap blade I'd take in the water, but in Naples I was at the pool and beach all day every day. I didn’t even want to ruin one of my cheap knives by subjecting it to 5 days of pool and salt water. I was literally in and out of the pool/hot tub/beach water for a minimum of 7-9 hours a day.

I'm really excited to test this H1 out! From now on this will be my fishing/beach/lake/river/springs/creek knife.

My initial impressions after having this knife for a whole 17 hours are...

1. Very light weight knife. The FRN handle is very solid feeling yet extremely light weight. The texture of the handle gives is sooooo much grip.
2. Very smooth to open. All of my other Spydercos are G-10 and I was wondering how easy the FRN would be to open compared with my G-10 stuff. The pinned blade with FRN is very pleasant to open.
3. The Jimping is insane on the knife!!! Talk about something that gives you positive grip!
4. I love the "HEY I'M OVER HERE" yellow!!! I think you could drop this knife in a tar pit and still see it from 100 yards away.

Nice pics! My Pacific and Tasman Salts became smoother to open as I used them more, so if you think it's nice now, just wait ;)

That is a gorgeous knife! It's the one I made into a Wharncliffe, but it looks, and works great in sheepsfoot too. Thanks for the pics, and enjoy your knife!

- best wishes, Jazz.

Nice pics - and I had to join the club. Just added Atlantic Salt SE to my collection. Now I have my H1 steel and sheepfoot fix taken care of. Just got it today courtesy of Araneae (thanks Nick). Have not taken it to water yet, but am looking forward to doing that and getting the blade work hardened. Im not a big gardening fan, but Im taking it out back this weekend for some pruning!!! Love the yellow.

I still can get over how easy it is to find this knife when you set it down...
