Spyderco Assist Salt Lightweight Yellow Combo Knife

The Spyderco Assist Salt combines the versatility of the popular Assist model with the exceptional rustproof properties of H-1 steel, setting a new standard for rescue tools. Designed for emergency situations, this lightweight knife features a rugged, yellow handle for easy identification and is built to perform even in the harshest conditions.

The blade is made from H-1 steel, a nitrogen-based alloy that is resistant to corrosion, ensuring it remains reliable even in wet or saltwater environments. Its SpyderEdge serrated blade easily cuts through tough materials such as seat belts, rope, and flotation gear, while the blunt tip prevents accidental punctures, making it ideal for rescue operations.

The Assist Salt also includes a retractable carbide glass breaker, which extends from the handle’s butt end for quick, efficient window breaking. Additionally, a built-in survival whistle is integrated into the handle, offering a convenient signalling tool in emergencies.

With its ergonomic yellow FRN handle, the knife offers a secure grip, even when wearing gloves, thanks to its Bi-Directional Texture and finger grooves. The sturdy back lock mechanism ensures the blade remains secure during use, and the reversible pocket clip allows for versatile carrying options.
