why is everyone afraid of magnamax being restricted to salt models when it lacks salt levels of corrosion resistance?

very strange.

If my memory serves me correctly, the Magnacut mule could be rusted in some situations, then a year went by (a year surely full of effort figuring out what they could do with it), then it ended up in the Salt series.
The same guy designed both and they both likely had approximately the same target for corrosion resistance.
So Magnamax being in the Salt series doesn't seem completely out of the realm of possibilities quite yet. It's still early in the game.

Golden models will be first. Would be interesting to see it in a UKPK first, but most likely native/native chief, PM2/3, or Manix.

I’m hoping that Magna-Max lands at Seki first, a Magna-max endura would a dream knife.

If history is anything to go by it’ll probably be a Native 5 first, then filter down to all the other Golden models over a 2 year period.

History and tradition in tandem with innovation is one of the strongholds of Spyderco so Native 5 is in front of the row I guess , and rightly so. One of the backbone models of the brand !

I'm happy with whatever models they'll release with the steel in as long as it's a non-FRN Manix 2 or a non-FRN Stretch 2/XL.
