The Spyderco Pacific Salt 2 C91PBBK2 delivers complete corrosion immunity for marine environments and harsh conditions. This drop-point folder features nitrogen-based H2 steel that maintains sharpness while resisting rust better than any stainless steel blade.
What Makes This Different
H2 steel contains zero carbon, making it 100% rust-proof rather than merely rust-resistant like traditional stainless steels. The blade maintains a keen edge through Spyderco's Volcano Grip texturing on the spine, while the textured FRN handle provides secure grip even when wet. This knife outperforms standard marine knives that eventually succumb to saltwater corrosion.
Key Features
- H2 nitrogen steel blade - completely rustproof, not just stainless
- 3.78-inch drop-point blade with plain edge for versatile cutting
- Black textured FRN handle resists saltwater and chemicals
- Signature Spyderco round hole for one-handed opening
- Volcano Grip blade texturing enhances cutting control

Field testing in saltwater environments demonstrates the H2 steel's superior corrosion resistance compared to 440C or AUS-8 alternatives. The knife maintains functionality after extended exposure to salt spray, making it suitable for commercial fishing, diving operations, and coastal rescue work. The ergonomic handle design accommodates extended use while wearing gloves.
