Knife Spyderco Salt 1 black blade plain

Previously, there was a myth among knife manufacturers about the existence of steel with highly efficient cutting characteristics, which at the same time will never rust. And this myth was dispelled with the creation of H-1 steel. This steel is produced by the Japanese corporation Hitachi and differs from other steels in the complete absence of carbon in its composition. Its place and functions in the molecular composition of this steel are performed by nitrogen. Nitrogen and chlorides dissolved in water (especially in sea water) do not form chemical compounds, which means that they do not lead to corrosion of steel. Salt 1 series knives are equipped with handles that are also completely unaffected by salt water. The material was nylon filled with fiberglass (FRN) - it is very light, but at the same time extremely durable. It is formed by casting, because its bidirectional textured surface is very securely held by the palm of the hand in all weather conditions.The Salt 1 model completely repeats the shape and dimensions of the Delica knife, except that it has an enlarged opening for opening the knife in gloves and an additional hole for the cord. The clip is made of titanium, that is, it is also not subject to corrosion.
