Spyderco: A Brand Rooted in Innovation and Tradition

Spyderco was founded in 1976 by Sal and Gail Glesser, initially focusing on selling their first product, the Tri-Angle Sharpmaker, at fairs and trade shows across the country. In 1981, the Glessers established their roots in Golden, Colorado, and introduced the first Spyderco folding knife, which revolutionized the industry with its innovative features.

The Salt 2: Corrosion-Resistant Versatility

While the original Salt 1 earned a devoted following, the design team at Spyderco sought to improve upon it. The result is the Salt 2, which combines the enhanced ergonomics and design features of the Delica 4 Lightweight model with the corrosion-resistant advantages of H-1 steel. This includes a high-traction Bi-Directional Texturing pattern on the handle and a black-coated titanium pocket clip that supports left or right-side, tip-up or tip-down carry.

Unlike the Delica 4, the Salt 2's handle components are molded from solid FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) and fitted with stainless steel inserts to mount the four-position clip. All other metal hardware on the Salt 2 is also machined from special non-rusting alloys, making it an ideal choice for underwater diving, fishing, and other professions where rust is a concern.

The Spyderco Way: Quality, Innovation, and Tradition

Spyderco is a company that prides itself on providing state-of-the-art innovation and product quality while upholding traditional values and service. The Salt 2 exemplifies this approach, featuring H-1 steel that retains its sharpness and Rockwell hardness in the high 60s while maintaining its resilience.

The Salt 2's design also includes Spyderco's trademark round hole opening feature, allowing for one-handed operation, and a reliable back-lock mechanism that secures the blade when open. With its ultra-lightweight, linerless handle, the Salt 2 strikes a balance between strength and portability, making it a versatile and dependable choice for a wide range of applications.
