I'm most likely going to have mine orange peeled, it may be more aesthetic than functional, but should add a little traction.
PM2 Salt in Magnacut available on Spyderco's website. Retail is high, but first responder pricing is aggressive. Just placed my order, I've been waiting for this to be released since I saw then announced last year.
May I ask what makes it so expensive?
Is the steel something special?
Or just a limited edition, so priced accordingly?

There's only been 2 runs of them. The originals sell at like 3X the original retail. This run sold out in 27 min. I'm not saying M390 is the best steel out there, but it's pretty good. I think it was priced slightly high, but for a Ti framelock in M390 that's a limited run collaboration, I don't think it was overpriced. I have zero doubt that if I decide I don't like it I can get my money back in a day out of it.
Interesting I always thought the salt line meant a certain steel and it looks like that was correct but they now consider magnacut “worthy” of salt name.

CPM MagnaCut is a revolutionary knife steel that challenges the logic of conventional metallurgy to deliver an outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance. Based on our extensive in-house testing, Spyderco determined it to be worthy of inclusion in our elite Salt® Series of knives.The precision-machined blade of this Para Military 2 Salt takes full advantage of MagnaCut’s remarkable qualities. Full-flat ground for optimal edge geometry, it is paired with a handle featuring G-10 scales with alternating black and yellow layers. Spyderco’s signature Caribbean Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern is painstakingly machined into the scale surfaces, revealing the underlying yellow layer and creating a high-visibility, color-contrasting, non-slip pattern. Consistent with its Salt theme, the knife’s nested liners, fully configurable four- position pocket clip, and all other hardware are crafted from fearlessly corrosion-resistant marine-grade materials.

Slysz designs will up the price quite a bit. This is the case with a handful of designers whose patterns are built by Spyderco, primarily in Taichung.
There's nothing civil about this war.

Fearlessly corrosion-resistant marine-grade materials???
"Fearlessly corrosion-resistant, that's some seriously Cro-Magna ad copy there.
Whoever wrote that needs to be castrated with a dull Delica.

Play that song about the Irish chiropodist. Irish chiropodist? "My Fate Is In Your Hands."
I assume this is quoted from the magnacut salt marketing material?
Personally I don't give a damn how they describe it. Living in Florida and having taken various Salt knives in and out of oceans and rivers and pools without so much as dripping them dry and having never found a speck of rust, I'm sold.
I just hope the Magnacut version isn't simply “almost as good so let's call it salt too”.
I wish someone would make a multi-tool fully out of whatever steel is in the Salt line.
