Spyderco Atlantic Salt C89YL Non Rust Lock Knife Spyderco Knives

Spyderco Atlantic Salt Rescue Knife - Carried by UK Lifeboat Crews

The Bude inshore lifeboat crew, based in Cornwall on the South Coast of England, now include Spyderco's Atlantic Salt knife in their essential kit. This was chosen over the less costly Spyderco Rescue 93 mm Knife which had, unsurprisingly started to show signs of corrosion after exposure to sea water. The crucial difference between the two knives is the H1 steel used in the Atlantic Salt's blade. A precipitation hardenend alloy with 0.1 % nitrogen instead of carbon, H1 steel has edge holding abilities comparable to premium carbon steels. In addition, non-rust internal components are used in the Salt Series of knives, including pocket clips made of titanium.
