Internal parts of Salt knives

#1

Post by MANIXWORLD »

Im real curious as to what materials are used for inner metal parts of the Salt knives. Is it possible that the lockpins could be titanium? I presume that the lockbar is H1,like the blade.i know for definite that the pocketclip,is titanium.

I know there is a thread about this floating around...
I searched but could not find it...


I do remember the comment did come from Kristi saying that it has the same properties of the H1.... I think

While at Blade in 2008 I asked Sal about the handle slabs on the Mariner Salt. I suspect his answer, that "There are a number of totally rust proof steels, but most are not suitable for blades" would apply to the lock spring and pins on the FRN Salts as well.

I remember Sal saying something along the lines of, "sorry, some things we keep secret" last time a similar question was asked...

I don't think the lockbar would be H1. You would have issues with hardness and one wearing the other out and such, no?
Im not good at sharpening, even with a sharpmaker. How get your blade good can your blade with an edge pro system? - Bladeforums user

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? - Some Online Meme

except that it would HAVE to be rustproof. There was somebody who left one [Pacific salt] in a bin full of salt water for a month in the fridge, let it dry for a month, and not a spec of rust on it. If it isnt H1, it just might be unobtainium.
