Salt 1 SyperEdge Serrated Folder Yellow Handle Folding Knife - Spyderco Knives
The Salt 1 is designed to be used in a salt water environment. A myth in the knife world is that out there somewhere there is a super-steel with high performance cutting ability that doesn't rust. A steel foundry in Japan made the myth a reality by introducing H-1 steel. H1 steel is a PH steel meaning it is a precipitation-hardened steel. It's naturally hard without heat-treating and with 1% nitrogen instead of carbon it cannot rust. H1 holds a sharpened cutting edge equivalent to many premium carbon steels but without developing rust or pitting. The Salt 1 is shaped like a Delica model with a few modifications. The blade has a rounded tip and its steel components are treated to be impervious to rust and pitting. Even with gloved or wet hands the enlarged (14mm) opening hole is accessible. Textured in a checkerboard pattern, the Fiberglass Reinforce Nylon handle grips onto your palm. A metal pocket clip attaches for right and left-handers tip up. We suggest if you are using the model around water, attach a thong through the lanyard hole as a method of backup attachment. SC88
