If you could have a Salty version of ANY knife in Spyderco’s history, what would it be?

Dream Salt Knives
Spyderco’s expanding Salt line of knives are to me a hallmark of the company’s commitment to practical innovation - they make fantastic dependable outdoor work tools. I personally am hoping to one day see a Manix 2 XL Salt in Magnacut - that would literally be my ‘one and done’ knife if I had to choose just one knife for all tasks.

Re: Dream Salt Knives
I don´t need total rustproofness, for example VG10 is as good as LC 200N in that capacity in my use.
That said: I DO like the lightweight (FRN) linerless construction of most Salt knives, and of course I don´t actually MIND if a steel is more rustproof than VG10
So both Jovials and crazywednesdays proposals are very much to my liking - IF you are talking about linerless FRCP versions of Manix 2 in SE and especially of Manix 2 XL (SE or not, an XL built like the regular Manix 2 LW must be amazing).
/ Generally they already pretty much make my Dream Salt knives with the ffg Salt 2 SE and the Pac Salt SE in H1 hollow sabre grind for super hard use or in LC 200 ffg for general cutting.

Re: Dream Salt Knives
We know there’s a ParaMilitary2 Salt CPM-MagnaCut Black Grooved G-10 coming perhaps as soon as this year although it hasn’t been “Revealed” but it was shown at the 2023 Amsterdam Meet.
I’d like to see:

Re: Dream Salt Knives
Don’t get me wrong - I like all of the flavours of steels pretty much for one reason or another (I REALLY love K390 for example), but if I had to only choose one folding knife for the rest of my days of working outdoors it’d be a Salt PE Manix 2 XL in Magnacut - a design that just does everything I use a folder for really well paired with a steel that has proven to be Al proof and tropics proofWartstein wrote: ↑Thu Jul 13, 2023 12:00 amI don´t need total rustproofness, for example VG10 is as good as LC 200N in that capacity in my use.

Re: Dream Salt Knives
@Wartstein I just re-read your comment and registered what you were saying about a Manix 2 XL LW
That would be an incredible knife, especially with a thinner grind!

Re: Dream Salt Knives
I’ve got a Salt DF H1 SE in my pocket just now - great little knife! I would love one in Magnacut though.

Re: Dream Salt Knives
If this H1 SE DFly came in a wharnie blade shape, I´d immediately get one too!!
From what I can see and read the H1 Dfly has a higher hollow sabre grind than all the other H1 Salts - I´d really like that! (the HIGHER grind)!

Re: Dream Salt Knives
If spyderco released a REALLY compelling salt model, I’d probably bite again…but as of now, I’m completely “satisfied” with my sheeps Caribbean and mag native. On top of that, I have a couple of micarta clad mag mules for fixed blade corrosion resistance.
It’s always fun to get a practical, new knife but in reality…my fishing/hunting/camping needs are met many times over.

Re: Dream Salt Knives
I’m in that boat too. But, I was sorry to see the Aqua Salt discontinued. An update there would be my dream Salt. Unlikely, at best. One can but hope.

That is visually striking! Out of interest, has there ever been a Spyderco with sunshine yellow G10 scales?
