This Tasman Salt 2 knife has a yellow FRN handle and a rustproof H-1* steel blade with a serrated cutting edge. The Spyderco Tasman Salt 2 features the focused cutting power of the original Tasman Salt hawkbill blade style, and pairs it with an improved handle design based on the best-selling Delica 4. Injection molded from tough FRN, the handle offers improved ergonomics, non-slip Bi-Directional Texturing, a solid lock back mechanism, and a handy four-position titanium pocket clip. *This Spyderco Salt model is currently transitioning from H1 steel to H2.
