Which Salty Spydie is your favorite?

[nelsonmc]

I want to buy a Salty, either the Salt 1, Pacific Salt, or Atlantic Salt. I want a yellow handle plain edge model. I just cannot choose between the 3. The Pacific is the longest, followed by the Atlantic, and then the Salt 1. Which do you prefer and possibly why?

I sold my old fishing and hunting folder and these seems perfect for that, even though not salt water fishing I've still had knives rust up on me, as for hunting it's usually cold and wet when I do so the H-1's sound perfecto.

Thanks

The Atlantic Salt would be my pick.

I've been looking for an old plainedge Rescue for a long time, so I was very happy that Spyderco created this knife.
I really like the sheepsfoot blade for an everyday utility cutter.

IMO, the Rescue style handle is more comfortable and more versatile than the Endura style handle, probably because it has a choil.

I bought a black Salt, haven't had the chance to really use it yet. Gonna use it down the shore on the headboat, see if the hype is true.

I would go with the plain edged Pacific Salt, it is a nice size for cleaning fish and field dressing game at least up to and including deer, but the smaller Salt would be fine also. I would rule out the Atlantic because you need a point and the Atlantic has sheep’s foot blade.

I have a plain edge Pacific on the way.

I think the Salt 1 or Pacific salt is probably more useful all-around, but the Atlantic is just so much more comfortable to use with the finger choil and finer spine/choil serrations.

Atlantic by far!

I just got a Pacific Salt serrated edge last week. I like the point and wanted the bigger blade. It feels nice, it will be for swimming etc. this summer.

I think I'll go with the Atlantic due to it's comfort factor. Thanks for all the help guys! Now just to find a good price on eBay or something, maybe NGK would be best or 1sks (support the forum and whatnot).
