Anyone know if there are plans to use LC200N on any of the existing salt models? I would love to have Salt1 (and maybe a pacific salt) in plain edge with better edge retention. It might make sense to use H1 for SE and LC200N for PE. The Caribbean salt looks really nice but it's a bit pricy for me to carry into the ocean (I may get one but I've already lost one Salt1 playing in the waves so that limits how much I want to spend on a beach knife). I really just want a plain edge salt1 with better edge retention than H1.
How could I forget... PS: Gringo you should participate in this thread and share your H1 stories with those folks who don't know what they're saying... http://www.bladeforums.com/threads/...t-exotic-super-steel-out-there.1471714/page-5
After the salt 2 I am very exited to see a Pacific salt 2 coming Shall it be made of LC200N it will be even more appealing to me
I would even go one further than that>> I would love to see a full flat grind SPYDERHAWK model in plain edge with LC200N. And as SURF has said for a long time that it outperforms H-1 in plain edge so it just makes perfect sense to have it for plain edges. I'm still curious and anxious to see how LC200N performs in Spyderedge. Being that H-1 does so well in Spyderedge I can't help but wonder if LC200N also being a nitrogen based steel might be just as good or maybe even better in SE.
Oh man would I love to see a new plain edge Spyderhawk in LC200N! I got into Spydies just a little too late to snag one. The more I read about LC200N the more I can't wait to try it out. A Superhawk in LC200N would be awesome also, another one I missed out on!
In serrated I'm happy with H1 in PE I wouldn't mind a LC200N switch, although I haven't tried it yet - I trust you guys. veering off topic for a sec. Are the Salt 2's & Pacific Salt 2's going to have a Black/Satin option? I'm just seeing Yellow/Satin or BLK/BLK as an option for the Salt 2.
I'd be in for a PE Pac Salt...curious how H1 and LC200 compare cost wise, I know sunk costs are still fresh on LC but long term economies of scale outlook wise.
Anyone who knows about the attributes of LC200N should jump on the SpydieChef with Ti scales. It's a masterpiece. As a Merchant Mariner, it's the perfect folding blade for general purpose. It also pulls double duty in t the galley with food preparation. It's easy to sharpen and holds a great edge. Yes, sometimes you pay for what you get. It's my favorite Spyderco. To put that in context, I also use a Caly 3.5 ZDP-189, PM 2 (CPM S110V), Sage 5, Tusk, Delica 4 Ti, Manbug ZDP-189, etc., etc.
I was afraid to ask if this was happening in the bigger Salt thread. I do not own any H1 but I have had a Mule Team 25 in my kitchen working along side a mid sized Petty and after a summer of BBQ’s it finally dulled enough to warrant sharpening. The stain and wear resistance are impressive. I’m looking forward to the Caribbean
