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.

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.

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.

emopunker2004 · 06-23-2012, 07:08 PM

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

BHalbrooks · 06-23-2012, 07:22 PM

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.

emopunker2004 · 06-23-2012, 07:24 PM

You planning on getting it wet often? Do you work on the water?

BHalbrooks · 06-23-2012, 07:30 PM

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

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

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

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)

BHalbrooks · 06-23-2012, 08:01 PM

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...

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

Yeh the para is smaller and has a compression lock instead of liner lock, lil cheaper too

Steve · 06-23-2012, 09:27 PM

I see that now. That's what I get for skimming instead of actually reading
