Good call. Thank you.

Also most of their knives use Aus-8 which is NOT a premium steel. Pretty much the very basic or intro steel, just like 440C.
I don't care if they found Unicorn horns and it somehow was the toughest object on earth that never went dull, I still wouldn't want anything from them. I used to watch their YouTube channel for hours lol

Found this on WalMart. Not sure on the blade length though.

I love mine. Carry it every day, use it about every day. BTW, mine is the half serrated model.

That has a blade length of almost 4 inches. It's basically a spyderco Endura but with H-1 steel instead of VG-10. It's rust-proof steel, it does not rust period. The only problem is that it does not have as good edge retention.

Aha, I did not know it didn't hold an edge. I need a blade that is rust resistant, I'll probably always be living around the ocean, for the foreseeable future anyways. I need to do some research now because I didn't ever hear that about the Spyderco. Damn it.

It holds an edge it's just not going to be the best. However it is supposed to be very easy to sharpen too so it's kind of a balance

Here is a bunch more of the Salt line of knives

But I thought all the SpyderCo salts had the same steel type?

Hard to go wrong with black on black :-)

They do, H1. I'm going to PM you some reviews for u to look at from bladeforums. H1 is also supposed to be a "work hardened" steel. From what I understand that means the more it gets put to use the harder it becomes :-)

BHalbrooks 08:22 PM 06-23-2012
I read through a couple of those threads, and they seem to all say the same: "The edge retention gets better, and it sharpens like a dream." Hm... A couple of the guys are from MA as well, so that is a bonus.

You planning on getting it wet often? Do you work on the water?
[Reply]
BHalbrooks 08:30 PM 06-23-2012
My Wife and I are going to get into Camping, and Fishing. Just seems like a really smart investment.

We live about 10 miles from the Ocean. I can taste the salt in the air usually.

There are plenty of great steels out there that are very rust resistant. S30V is a good one that Spyderco uses alot. VG-10 also. Zero Tolerance uses S30V in many of their knives also. If you don't plan on submerging it in water for a while then H1 might be overkill, I mean if you want it go for it. You can literally put h1 in a bucket of salt water for hours.

Hell, I live in FL where it's humid as all get out and even my 8cr13mov Spyderco Tenacious doesn't rust if I wipe it down every now and then.

See, I wasn't sure if it was over kill or not. If I was a lobster fisherman, I'd get it.
You make valid points Sir. I'll look at S30V, VG-10.

Edit: Oh baby.

emopunker2004 08:58 PM 06-23-2012
That Spyderco I posted above is S30V. The ZT 0350 is a good blade and is S30V. Both can be had for under $120. The Black handle silver blade para2 can be had for right at $100. Kershaw makes a Blur is S30V for under $100.

Knives with S30V will be US made, VG-10 will be made in Japan(still great quality)

Oh that's tempting.
Once I get some Cigars in the humi, I will put some cash aside for a new edc. I have a SOG Trident that I sometimes carry... But living right outside of Boston, I tend to avoid carrying anything.

I carried a benchmade mini-griptillian every day for years in Cambridge without any problems... but I didn't venture into Boston *that* often either, and Boston police were definitely a different breed...

In many many cases. Public parks, public transportation, buses (the only way to get around), most public buildings, banks, etc.

Hey that Tenacious is 8cr13mov. It's not as corrosian resistant but if you slap som oil on it every week or so it should be good to go. I have one in the silver blade.

here it is on bladehq
http://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderc...Knife-G--10961

or amazon, couple bucks more but free shipping
