The Spyderco Salt I Folding Lockback Knife, model C88PYL, features H1 Steel Plain Blade and a Yellow FRN Handle. Like the great white whale, for time immemorial there has been a myth that there exists a high performance steel that cannot rust. Recently, a Japanese steel foundry turned this myth into reality with the introduction of H1 steel. This is a PH steel (precipitation Processed alloy) that is hard rolled without heat treatment and has .1% nitrogen. The nitrogen acts like carbon in the steel matrix but doesn't react to chorine. Which meanse it doesn't rust. It holds an edge comparable to premium knife steels. The Salt I is patterned after the Delica with an H1 steel blade and a few modifications to the handle and blade. The Salt I has a more rounded tip that is also thicker at the point. This makes the blade more functional for jobs found near and in water -- such as boating and fishing chores. The Spyderco Round Hole is the larger 14mm to give gloved or wet hands better purchase. All of the inside and outside components have been treated to make them impervious to rust or pitting. The handle is built from FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) and has the Volcano Grip texturing which gives it tons of friction resistance to slipping. The back of the handle features a David Boye locking lever dent to inhibit accidental release of the lock in case of being bumped or banged on the spind of the handle. The Salt I also features a black titanium clip that can be positioned either left or right handed for tip up carry. There is also a nice hole through the clip screw for lanyard positioning. THe Salt I is a fantastic knife for those who work around water.
