Description
SP89SBK: C89SBK Atlantic Salt Black FRN
Spyderco
It's been speculated the sheepfoot shaped blade originated with mariners who found the rounded tip especially beneficial when the knife was accidentally dropped (think working on a ship in pitching seas) as it couldn't stab the foot when hitting the deck. It's also been hypothesized that commanding officers on these ships preferred rambunctious hardworking sailors carry knives without pointed tips, especially while in port blowing off steam after months at sea.
Spyderco's Rescue knives are long favored by seafarers and the design has since been embraced by rescue workers, EMT's and ranchers-anyone cutting around flesh in an emergency. Now available in a rustproof version, the Atlantic Salt is a modified Rescue made with state of the art non-rusting H1 steel. H1 is a precipitation-hardened steel containing nitrogen instead of carbon, which cannot rust. The serrated hollow-ground blade offers remarkable cutting performance in and around fresh and saltwater. Textured with a Volcano Grip pattern, the molded fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN) handle is black, equipped with a reversible titanium pocket clip for right or left- handed use. We recommend threading a thong or lanyard cord through the lanyard hole for back-up retention around water, where once dropped, a knife is often irretrievable or lost.

Folding Rescue knife
I use this one for fishing and general rough cutting. The serrations are unreal sharp! The handle and grip options are great, good size and plenty indexing points. Opens easily and the serrations are very sharp and useful. The Boye Detente makes it a good rescue and MBC choice, ideal for use at sea, on rigs or around nets. The clip is Titanium and well made. The only negative is the lack of a point, which is kind of the point of this knife! A perfect tool!
