I asked the same question last week Allen. With the way the H1 is turning out for me I wouldn't be surprised if their are a few more models offered in H1.

Likewise, I am finding H1 a surprisingly good steel so far! 
I am very interested in a fully serrated Pacific Salt.
I saw it at IWA as well...

I love the blade shape as well. I've got a spydie Terzuola SP-13 (the one with the aluminium scales) that is my favourite knife but have long since retired it. It's nice to have an EDC with that shape again. I did a rough cutting comparision test between my Native in CPM 440V and the Salt. After hacking through several lengths of nylon rope, then slicing some cardboard, I couldn't tell the difference between the edge holding. Neither where shaving sharp anymore but both were still cutting without much effort. As far as functional edge holding goes - that's good enough for me.
I also deliberately left the knife unwashed over 2 days of running along the beach and swimming/snorkeling in salt water. The blade is still shiny new and the edge as sharp as ever.
By way of comparison, if I use the Military or Native around salt water for the day they usually have a few spots and I have to clean and oil them at night.
