Spyderco Atlantic Salt Yellow SpyderEdge Folding Knife

It's been speculated the sheepfoot shaped blade originated with mariners who found the rounded tip especially beneficial when the knife was accidentally dropped (think working on a ship in pitching seas) as it couldn't stab the foot when hitting the deck. It's also been hypothesized that commanding officers on these ships preferred rambunctious hardworking sailors carry knives without pointed tips, especially while in port blowing off steam after months at sea.

Spyderco's® Rescue knives are long favored by seafarers and the design has since been embraced by rescue workers, EMT's and ranchers-anyone cutting around flesh in an emergency. Now available in a rustproof version, the Atlantic Salt™ is a modified Rescue made with state of the art non-rusting H-1 steel. Its molded FRN handle includes a shackle key and features a reversible black-coated titanium pocket clip for tip-up carry on either the left or right side.
