Spyderco’s original Aqua Salt was an amazingly versatile, do-everything fixed-blade knife that was also 100% rustproof. Its legions of die-hard fans ranged from commercial fishermen all the way to military special operations personnel and they were all devastated when it was discontinued. Based on popular demand, the Aqua Salt is now back and better than ever thanks to the addition of a non-reflective titanium carbonitride (TiCN) blade coating. Like the original, it features a broad, hollow-ground blade crafted from H-1 steel—an extraordinary nitrogen-based alloy that is exceptionally tough and completely impervious to corrosion. The blade’s deep hollow grind, drop-point profile, and full-thickness spine provide a superior combination of low-friction cutting performance, point utility, and structural strength.
