I hope he fixes the pics, I’m curious to see these.

The Caspian Salt is one of the more unique models from Spyderco history.

Anyone have info on these? The something-probe was it?

Our Dive probes were made for divers. They were made from electro-polished 440C. The tip was legal for Abalone hunting in California. The original was the large one and it originally had a hook style clip much like the Snap-it. Unfortunately the clip didn't work well. We left the clip on 17 pieces as we had 17 collectors at the time and we felt they should get the original. We cautioned them against using the clip. Then we ground the clip off of the rest of the run.

Cool piece of history...I could not remember the name for it!

Have to be careful speculating on the name “___probe”...I knew it probably was not “pocket probe”

How rust resistant was the 440C with this treatment?
