Spyderco makes cool looking knives that often break ground in terms of functionality and materials.

The Pacific Salt actually looks pretty tame compared to other Sypderco Knives. Compare it to the Spyderco S, for example.

However, the Pacific Salt has something that very few other knives have these days: H-1 Steel.

And what’s so special about H-1 Steel? Instead of a small amount of carbon in the steel, H-1 has a small amount of nitrogen. This allows it to retain a sharp edge — it’s hardened to 57 on the Rockwell C hardness scale — while also being rustproof.

It’s available with a plain edge or a SpyderEdge (pictured), both of which feature an oversized finger hole for easy open and close even when wet. The blade measures 3.8 inches, while the entire knife measures just under five inches when closed.

The handle is textured fiberglass-reinforced nylon, which makes it lightweight and strong.
