Spyderco Atlantic Salt Rust Free Serrated Edge Knife

Stellar. Bought this knife for sailing for safety reasons and due to its ability to resist rust in salt water and water in general. Fell in love with the knife and believe it or not I EDC this knife now. I used to carry a flat blade and started thinking, what do I really need a knife for EDC? Open boxes? This works great. Cut paracord? Like butter. Cut cardboard. Check. Cut plastic wrapping or slice through a package? Yeah, no problem. Cut shipping tape with fiber cores? Easy. And on and on. It's been 6 months of EDC-ing this knife and I don't see a reason for a point except stabbing something which I don't have a use for. Also if you get to a car accident and need to get a seatbelt off of someone or even thick clothing off and don't have a pair of medical scissorsI have no doubt this will do the job far better than a flat blade knife, no matter how sharp. And think about it, a knife that you don't ever have to worry about rusting? That's pretty awesome. Also I love it's bright yellow color too for ease of finding while out camping and in the woods. It's the 'don't lose me' color. Just a fantastic knife. If I need a small flat blade I just go to the multi-tool, but for heavy cutting this thing rocks.

This knife has been on my BCD since 2015. Salt water scuba. No rust. It goes in the water and when I get home it goes in sweet water inside the pocket of my BCD for a long soak. I never take it out to rinse it or anything else. I don't even think about it. That makes it a great scuba knife. I don't need to cut much. It's an emergency knife so I can't say how long the blade stays sharp. On occasion when I needed to cut small rope / netting left behind or small cuts on deck It worked like a charm. My setup: I have a Paracord set up tied to the knife on one end and a d ring on the other. The Paracord length allows is from the D ring to my outstretched arm. I can use the knife with my gloved hand and if I drop it it stays with me and does not get lost at sea. This way I can drop it at anytime in situations where I may need to do it quickly. I can always find the Paracord on my d ring and pull on it till the knife comes out of my pocket.

I bought this knife specifically for a scuba trip in the Gulf of Mexico. It made it through a two tank dive, and 4 days of beach swimming, without so much as a speck of rust. Not just the blade, the whole knife... clip, pivot screws, locking bar... everything. I tried, too. It was NEVER rinsed with fresh water (there's still sand in it now, actually, a month later), and after the dives it was left in my dive bag for a few days. Anyways, that shouldn't be a surprise, since Spyderco flat out say that this knife will not rust, and they're not a company known for lying to their customers. The knife itself is a good design for a rescue knife, or a boating knife. I find myself carrying it when I'm going for multi-hour motorcycle tours into the middle of nowhere, or when I go to the lake it's always there with me. I found it perfectly suited for scuba diving. It stayed secure in my BC's waist belt, and the one time I used it underwater it was very easy to handle, with no risk of accidentally puncturing my BC. Would be a good option for a first responder, perfect for cutting seat belts, clothes, dense cloth, etc. all without the risk of accidental puncture wounds. Would also be a good option for boat knife, as there is a lower risk of drop-related injuries, and it excels at cutting rope. However, this is not a good EDC knife, and I do not carry it on a regular basis. It is a specialized tool for specific jobs, and it seems to excel at those jobs. So far, edge retention has been rather good. I sharpen it on a Sharpmaker, and it gets sharp enough to push-cut receipt paper, then stays that way for a good while. I would put it on par with VG-10.

My daily carry at work. Awesome knife.

In times, when every piece of crap, is advertised, as best thing, since the invention of the wheel, I belive that honest, unsolicited user opinion, is worth more then months of ad campaign. You order 'the best thing' and then you received useless, inferior quality piece and when you try to reached the producer, you just find, that customer services is not existing. Therefore, when occasionally, your experiences are compleatlly opposite, those rare occurances deserving an accolade. Here is one of mine: I am commercial diver and one of tools of my trade is a good knife. Long time ago I 've choose Spyderco Atlantic Salt. It stays sharp long time, it doesn't rust, it is yellow and visible in low vis conditions. My preference is a serrated blade. One disadvantage of that is serrated blade is difficult to sharpen, but Spyderco offers free sharpening for life on their products. You just have to pay for shipping. This is a second identical knife, I have bought. I have two of those knives clipped to the D-rings of my harness. One on the right side is for the emergencies, one on the left is use at work, cutting material, ropes, tapes etc. Once the left one get dull, I send it for sharpening, when it comes back sharp like new I rotate my knives. On the project I am right now, I am the foreman, so I stay up top. Because of that, I decided, it is a good time, to send both knifes for sharpening. My old knives were used and abused. The checkering on the handles was almost not existing from abrasion, the blades were never cleaned, stored packed with sand and dirt. Cutting something in no visibility condition, often hitting some hard objects, rock, steel etc. Most of a time the turnaround is 10 to 14 days, so about day 18 I call customer office. "Knives are on the way back to you Sir, we are very sorry for an inconvenience." "No problem and thank You" The package arrived two days latter and when I open it there were two brand new Spyderco Atlantic Salt knives and a letter of apology. That is a customer service fa beyond my expectations. Spyderco You got a customer for life.

最近海保の海猿がネットに絡まったウミガメを4人がかりで救出するニュースがあったけど、やはりナイフの切れ味が威力を発揮する。最近のポリエステルやナイロンのロープや網は滑って簡単に切れない。このナイフのような鋸状の刃が最適。刃渡りが92mmあるから太いロープも簡単に切れる。 ダイビングでウミガメを救助する以外にも珊瑚に絡んだ漂流魚網を切ったり自分に絡んだ魚網から脱出したり携帯していなかったらきっと後悔する。鮫やテロリストとナイフで戦うわけじゃないから尖った切っ先は要らない。揺れるボートの上や波に巻かれた時に自分を刺さないためにはこのシープフットの先端が最適。 折り畳みなのでBCDのポケットに入れておいても紐に吊るしておいても良い。グリップにはクリップとシャックルキーが付いている。海水専用なので軽く水洗いしておけば錆びる恐れもない。 ダイバーとセイラーとビーチゴミ拾いには理想のナイフ。

Todo perfecto. Calidad extrema!! y he tenido la suerte de comprarla a un precio insuperable, 67 euros

Arrivato in acciaio H2, ma non è un problema, è sempre un acciaio giapponese, attualmente usato da Spyderco. Affilatissimo, non posso avere invece un riscontro sull'inossidabilità, ma credo sia buona, è made in Japan.

Mi ritengo un collezionista di questo marchio, da nuovi sono micidiali (parlo della capacità di taglio) State attenti quando lo usate. Questo modello è di una misura eccezionale ed è senza punta, quindi anche al lavoro, non ha un aspetto cruento. La clip può essere smontata su entrambi i lati. L’unico difetto di questi coltelli (con lama spyderco seghettata) è che non sono semplici da affilare è la affilatura non è mai a livello di quando il coltello era nuovo.

ottimo acquisto , preso da usare sul kayak per le emergenze , ottima fattura , tagliente robusto , ben fatto , l'uso è molto spontaneo , materiali ottimi , come tutta la produzione spiderco , e anche amazon ottimo servizio ciao e grazie
