Spyderco's C91 Pacific Salt is designed to offer reliable high performance with an ultra-corrosion-resistant H-2 steel blade. Now it's available with a black coated blade, lessening the steel's reflective qualities and subduing the blade's presence. Hollow-ground, the H-2 blade is PlainEdged and coated in long-lasting black carbonitride. It's similar in shape and size to Spyderco's bestselling Endura model but with more rounded tip.

All internal steel parts are treated as well making them practically impervious to rust and pitting. The blade's hole is enlarged to 14mm for easier opening/closing with gloved, wet or cold hands. Textured in a Volcano GripTM pattern, the black fiberglass handle has a grippy texture and is fitted with a black Titanium pocket clip that reverses position for both left and right-handers. The addition of a lanyard hole offers a backup method of attachment (thong or lanyard cord) for use around water where once dropped, a knife is often lost or elusively hard to retrieve.
