I was looking at the salsa again and it looks like to me they have different locks. Is this true? Also does the cobra hood come off? I think I would like the cobra hood.

I'd like to see a Salsa sprint. I briefly had one, and I liked it, but it was too beat up for my liking and I sold it. It would be nice to have a factory new Salsa sprint! (with cobra hood)

The old Ti Salsa, great little Spyder

I wish I would have kept my old Titanium Salsa :( It was the only one that had ATS-34 blade steel. I actually liked the locking systen in it as well.

I hear it's quite coveted in the collector arena now a days. I haven't seen one in quite some time. I also loved the look of the Cranberry Salsa as well.

My deceased best friend had the entire set before he died and a it was a beautiful set to look at on display. I think one with a G-10 handle and XHP blade would be just outright cool and probably not a bad beginner's EDC.

Yes, the titanium Salsa has a somewhat different lock than the standard aluminum Salsa, although they are both compression locks. And yes, the Cobra Hood does come off, however it leaves a sharp, uncomfortable notch on the spine of the blade if you remove it.

So, should we consider this;

we would make it without the cobra hood.
G-10 would be ok, color?
Plain edge only.
Compression lock.

Sounds very good to me. Would full liners be necessary? How about burgundy or dark green? S30V?
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

All of that is OK, if you can make it shaped more like the Spyderco "S", the blade of the Salsa was a bit too 'chubby' or broad, but for this knife, the "S" was more streamlined.

I would like a cobra hood but it won't keep me from buying it. I am so excited about this knife for some reason. Sal should I just send you a check now? :-)

green g10 or aluminum CTS-XHP blade, cobrahood or no cobrahood, doesn't matter to me.

Hope this model comes to life soon!

I would love to see a green G10 version. I would say with the hood but no hood would be ok. Def a compression lock.

Eric and I spoke with the maker earlier this year about a Salsa sprint run. Current thoughts are no "Cobra Hood" and a Titanium version with an integral compression lock.
