The Spyderco Assist Salt (brand part no. C79PSYL) combines the multi-functional versatility of the Assist model with the ultra-corrosion-resistant qualities of H2 steel, setting a new standard for rescue tools used in and around water. Made by Spyderco, the 3.68-inch H2 blade features a blunt tip that safely slides under seat belts and clothing without puncturing flotation gear, and a mostly serrated SpyderEdge for extreme cutting performance. The bright yellow FRN handle includes finger grooves that let the blade scissor-cut rope, much like a cigar cutter.
