Atlantic or Saver Salt?

[James Y]

I'm very happy with the yellow PE Pacific Salt I got last week. That makes 3 Salts for me so far. Now I'm considering either the Atlantic or Saver (in SE). It's kinda hard to decide between the two. I know the general answer is "get both!" but at this time it's not really an option. To complicate things, I'm also interested in possibly a yellow SE Salt 1 (I already own a black PE Salt 1). So a few questions:

What are the various experiences with any of these 3 models? Comfort, smoothness of the cut, etc. Some serrations, even within the Spyderco model lineup, cut more smoothly than others. I know the Salt 1 carries well and feels great, but I've been considering a Spydie sheepsfoot.

I just got the atlantic salt and have been really impressed nice lockup with good ergos... the finger choil is an great feature and makes it really comfy when you need that extra control.... it is also a surprisingly thin knife but always feels very solid in the hand......personally I found myself wanting the pacific because I missed having a pointed tip.....but you live and you learn.....anyway my only other complaint is that Im not a huge fan of the edge retention but that was also something else I already knew going into it. Overall I like it a lot and my only complaints about it were drawbacks that were already common knowledge...its a really nice knife for the money....I dont know much about the saver but I would say that If you want a smaller blade size( 3/32") than the large atlantic (3 11/16") and you dont care about se or pe go with the saver....if you want pe or a larger blade go with the atlantic. Theyre both based off the already popular rescue models I believe.
