Which of the Salt models are closest in size to a Delica?
I think I need to add a little bundle of yellow to my vacation supplies.
 
The Salt 1 is nearly identical in size to a Delica. The handle is actually the same used for the Delica 3. If you can, I'd recommend checking with the vendor first before buying. The new Salt models feature screws on the pivot and lock bar - which is a feature that I wish my older model had. I think it is worth checking to be sure you will receive that nice upgrade.

The Salt I makes a great pocket EDC -- if you like that size folder, you'll love it.
 
I have a delica already and know I love the size, and figured the Salt would be perfect for all weather activities.

Is the hardware still H1/rustproof?
 
Love the Salts!

Well actually that is a poor angle. Would you like to see a better angle with macro?
