The Atlantic Salt is part of Spyderco’s Salt Series, a line of knives that have set the standard for corrosion-resistant tools for over 15 years. Initially based on third-generation models like the Endura and Delica, the Salt Series has evolved to incorporate advanced ergonomics and design improvements. The second generation of Salt lightweights, including the Atlantic Salt, features handles that are nearly identical to the Endura 4 and Delica 4 but are made exclusively from injection-molded FRN. This ensures the elimination of any potential corrosion vulnerability from internal liners. The latest versions of these knives now feature LC200N blade steel, enhancing edge retention and performance.
