Spyderco Pacific Salt Lightweight Yellow H1

The Pacific Salt is made using H1 steel. H1 steel is a PH steel, meaning it is a precipitation-hardened steel. Utilising 0.1% nitrogen instead of carbon to harden the steel, it reaches a Rockwell hardness of 57-58rc. The Pacific Salt is similar in shape and size to Spyderco’s best-selling Endura model but with a slightly more rounded tip. All internal steel parts are also treated, making them resistant to rust and pitting and of course, salt. Those challenged by cleaning and maintaining their knives will find that the Pacific Salt stays rust-free even if put away wet. The blade’s hole is enlarged to 14mm for easier opening/closing with gloved, wet or cold hands. Textured in a checkerboard pattern, the yellow FRN handle has a grippy texture and is fitted with a reversible titanium pocket clip which positions for right and left handed users. The addition of a lanyard hole offers a backup method of attachment (thong or lanyard cord) for use around water where once dropped, a knife can be lost or difficult to retrieve.
