I bought a salt 1. Received it on Wednesday. Have to say that I love the knife. After using it, I know that most of my other regular folders are going to see a lot less use. I love the fact that I can walk my dog, with the knife in my hand, and I dont have to wipe it down when I get back in. The fact that this steel has the edgeholding it does, with absolutely no worries of rusting, really makes it one of the best knives available in my opinion.
The only thing I dont like on it is the clip. I have heard people complaining about clips on many knives in the past and I never really understood why. But this one rides very high for my personal tastes. I do however, understand that it was probably designed that way, to make it easier for people in marine environments to get the knife quickly out of the pocket.
What I would absolutely love to see, is more models made with this steel, especially some of the higher end blades with G10. I think a paramilitary in H1 would be my ultimate folder.
Spyderco has recently passed benchmade for me as my favorite folder company. I currently own a black coated plain edge para, a foilage green d2 para, a mini manix, a co-pilot, a lava, a G10 delica, and of course my salt 1. 5 of these were purchased within the last 3 months. Also had a native that I gave to a neighbor who helped us out during hurricane gustav. I am really loving my spydies.
