IMO, it would have to be LC200N, since H1 cannot be FFG'd. Also, H1 is a Japanese steel, and AFAIK, Spyderco's LC200N is only used in Taiwan (and maybe also USA?)-made knives. So a Para 2 Salt would either be made in Golden or Taichung.YES! I want one with LC200N though, not H1.
Thanks for the info! I had no idea H1 could not be flat ground. I should add, Vanax Superclean would be a great option too, even better than LC200N from what I hear! I imagine these would fly off the shelves like no other.IMO, it would have to be LC200N, since H1 cannot be FFG'd.

... since H1 cannot be FFG'd.
From what I can recall, H1 needs to be ground on both sides at the same time, and supposedly FFG is done one side at a time. H1 work hardens when grinding, so after doing one side it would be much harder to do on the other side. Not necessarily impossible, just very difficult and cost-prohibitive, especially for mass production.Why can't they grind it FFG?
