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. The Atlantic Salt is a modified Rescue made with state of the art, ultra corrosion-resistant H-1 steel. It's also a great addition to your vehicle for cuting seat belts in an emergency. The hollow-ground serrated blade offers remarkable cutting performance in and around both fresh water and saltwater. The molded FRN handle includes a shackle key  and features a reversible black-coated titanium pocket clip for tip-up carry on either the left or right side. 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.
