Spyderco Salt I Pocket Knife C88BK
The Spyderco Salt I Pocket Knife C88BK features an H1 blade, H1 being a PH steel meaning it is a precipitation-processed alloy that's rolled hard without heat-treating and has 0.1% nitrogenm, which acts like carbon in the steel matrix, but does not react to chlorine making rust.
Surprisingly, this rust-resistant steel holds a sharpened cutting edge comparable to the premium knife steels being used in the industry by most knife manufacturers.
The Spyderco Salt I Pocket Knife C88BK is based on the Spyderco Delica Model, which users gravitate towards due to its sensible size, versatile shape and tested durability.
The Spyderco Salt I Pocket Knife C88BK is the Delica with an H1 blade and with a couple of further modifications.
Since H1 was developed specifically for use in and around water, rounding the tip of the Salt I Pocket Knife C88BK better met the requirements of cutting chores associated with boating and fishing.
The Spyderco Round Hole is increased in diameter to 14 mm, facilitating easier access for gloved or wet hands.
All inside/outside steel components (lock bar, pins and clip) have been treated to make them impervious to rust and pitting.
Volcano Grip texturing covers both sides of the FRN handle for friction resistance to slipping.
David Boye's locking lever dent is a standard feature that inhibits the lock from accidental release if the handle is gripped with great force.
A matching black titanium pocket clip positions for left/right tip-up portability the Salt I Pocket Knife C88BK has a hole running through the hollow clip screw to make a lanyard pipe for stringing thong or cord through when using around water.
