Yep, spot checked three knives and Amazon has the same prices.

Not the person you replied to- but I also ordered from the last sale, the Salt knives with the H1 and H2 steel were Japanese. It's an extremely corrosion resistant steel.
Not as many in this batch but I saw at least one- but the Ladybug series is super small as its name implies. It's a very handy size for quickly cutting snarled fishing line, webbing, rope and other salt water cutting tasks.
Edit: I refreshed the sale and there are several models of Tasman and Pacific Salt with longer blades as well.
You think the fit and finish of those is better than the Taichung, Taiwan models?
I do own a few from Colorado, seki city and Taiwan.
I'd say there is precious little difference in quality between the three.
If your politics dictate that you only buy American, ok fine, that's a whole other argument but based on quality alone, the Taiwan knives are by far a better bang for the buck.
No, Taiwan is the best made fit and finish Spyderco. Colorado is close but not as consistent.

The Para 2/3 are the only one I have made in Colorado and the rest are Japanese if I recall. I like them all, and they all have their place. The Para 2/3 are smoother flickers because of the brass washer, but as far as speed goes, I dont think you can open anything faster than a Delica/Endura/Endela/dragonfly with an Emerson opener. I have a bunch of OTF and regular autos as well - Emerson opener rules for quick deployment.
That being said - I know there may be some opinions on Dack Outdoors... I have no affiliation with them, but they have the best prices if you are absolutely not in a rush to get it. I have been buying from them for years - They ship, when they ship - but I've never been ripped off by them.
Dack sells the Para 2 for $128, Para 3 (Breast cancer pink/black) for $100, the Bodacious for $145.... (These are USA made). If you see on their site "Add to cart for best Price" - that's a good thing. Good luck.
