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.

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.

emopunker2004 06-23-2012 07:08 PM

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
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?

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 :tu

BHalbrooks 06-23-2012 07:22 PM

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
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?

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.

emopunker2004 06-23-2012 07:44 PM

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
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.

BHalbrooks 06-23-2012 07:49 PM

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
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 06-23-2012 07:58 PM

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
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)

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...

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

What are they? they look like blades that have seen some use.

emopunker2004 06-23-2012 09:53 PM

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
here's the description from the maker

This is a Black and and a Toxic Green EDC knife. Both knives are made of 1084 steel that is then parkerized black then put in a vibratory tumbler to give them a distressed look.
THe parkerizing will inhibit rust and looks great IMO.
These knives come with ability to clip them to your belt or remove clip and it can be a neck knife.
A knife of your choosing below will be delivered to your house for $75.00.
I started a new tradition with a previous buyer and I am going to keep running with it.
If any of my knives ever make it to the second page and they are not sold you will receive a $10 second page discount if you purchase on the second page or later. Thanks for looking.
CW
PS Forgot to mention blade is 3.25" long and knife is 7" long total.
Thanks for looking.

So Zac Brown the country singer has a knife company called Souther Grind. This is one of his blades called "Bad Monkey" it runs $170. It looks nice and the one review of it I found on blade forum was very positive. Hmmm

I really like the Lionsteel SR-1 especially the beautifully scalloped Ti frame lock side and steel lock bar insert. But alas, they are a little out of my price range and do not have the option for left-handed carry.

If I spend over 200 for a knife I would probably go custom. Although I could see myself dropping a few more dollars on a ZT0551 or 561 although I may not have to once the Cryo comes out. :tu

True but again, no left-handed carry option. It sucks being left handed and a folding knife lover. I have 2 knives that aren't left-handed carry and I don't carry either one anymore even though I love both of them.
