Just bought a yellow saver salt. I'm excited :D I live in salty south florida and this will be my 2nd salt knife. Anyone have one? Thoughts? Teaser pics?

I really like mine. Small but fits my hand well. Great if you need to cut rope! Also great for emergency situations, but fortunately I've never needed it.
I love the yellow color and the low-maintenance design. No rust, no screws to come loose.
Mine has a bit of vertical blade play -- more than most of my spyderco back locks -- but it hasn't bothered me.
Two thumbs up.

The chunky and deep serrations are the best part of the knife.
Good buy.

I have fairly small hands, and the Saver just barely allows me a full 4 finger grip without using the 50/50 choil, but it feels better for me when I use it. That's not really a problem, at least not for me, I'm accustom to knives, like the Kiwi, where the choil is an essential feature and the Saver's choil a very good one.
For my own purely selfish reasons, I wish they made a PE version. Think it would be an excellent platform for a 3" wharncliffe.

Those teeth look super aggressive! Handle looks comfortable to hold too. I need to look into this knife

I'm with you Deacon, I would have bought a plain edge one.

A little OT, but I just got a Yellow PE Salt 1 in the mail I got for my dad as a wedding gift (lives on a boat in the Bahamas). Very impressed/jealous. It's my first Spyderco purchase in a while, but a Superhawk is in the mail from Knife Center as well.

secspyral i thought i would let you know i ordered the yellow one from ebay just now. i got small hands so these are perfect for me. you get yours yet, how you like it?
big biter, watch your skin, these serration are hungry!
also is the handle black or yellow? my black saver has black handle so i guess the yellow has a yellow handle? the ebay pic doesnt show
