Spyderco C89SBK Atlantic Salt 3.69" H1 Steel Serrated Folding Knife

The Spyderco Atlantic Salt C89SBK delivers unmatched corrosion resistance for marine environments and humid conditions where standard steel blades fail. This folding knife features H1 steel construction that maintains sharp edges in saltwater exposure without the maintenance requirements of traditional stainless steels.

What Makes This Different

H1 steel contains virtually no carbon, making it completely rustproof rather than just rust-resistant like conventional stainless steels. The sheepsfoot blade profile provides maximum cutting surface with enhanced tip control for precision work. Serrated edge geometry cuts through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, and synthetic lines with minimal effort compared to plain edge alternatives.

Key Features

• H1 nitrogen-based steel blade completely immune to rust and corrosion
• 3.69-inch sheepsfoot blade with full serrated edge for aggressive cutting
• Black molded FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) handle provides secure grip when wet
• Spyderco Round Hole opening system enables one-handed deployment
• Reversible pocket clip accommodates left or right-handed carry
• Lockback mechanism secures blade during use
• Bi-directional textured FRN scales prevent slippage in maritime conditions

Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and saltwater immersion scenarios. The H1 steel maintains cutting ability through repeated exposure to corrosive environments that would pit and degrade conventional blade materials. Serrated teeth bite through wet rope, fishing line, and emergency materials without requiring the frequent sharpening intervals of plain edge knives.
