This is a discontinued NEW in box FIRST GENERATION C88SBK Salt I Folding Knife, Collectors Club knife numbered 161 of 200.
This is a FIRST GENERATION NEW in
box C91SBK Pacific Salt Folding Knife, Collectors Club knife numbered 161 of
200.
This C91SBK Pacific Salt Folding knife
has black FRN handles, with a H-1 blade.
A big myth in the knife world is
that out there somewhere is a knife that seriously cuts but cannot rust. Knives
claiming these super powers are usually made with steels that are unable to
hold a cutting edge for any measurable amount of time. Finally a steel foundry
in Japan called Myodo Foundry makes this myth a reality with the introduction
of a new steel called H1. H1 steel is a PH steel, meaning it is a
precipitation-hardened steel. "Huh" you ask? Utilizing .1% nitrogen
instead of carbon to harden the steel, it reaches a Rockwell hardness of
57-58rc. Spyderco uses H1 on its new C91 Pacific Salt model.
It's PlainEdge or SpyderEdge and
is similar in shape and size to Spyderco's best-selling Endura model but with a
slightly more rounded tip. All internal steel parts are treated as well making
them impervious to rust and pitting and of course, salt. Those challenged by
cleaning and maintaining their knives will find the Pacific Salt stays
rust-free even if put away wet. The blade's hole is enlarged to 14mm for easier
opening/closing with gloved, wet or cold hands. Textured in a checkerboard
pattern, the black FRN handle has a grippy texture and is fitted with a
reversible titanium pocket clip which positions for right-handers and lefties.
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.
The C91SBK Pacific Salt was manufactured in 2004.
This is a new in original box Collector
Club knife numbered 161 of 200, that has sat in a collection untouched for over
18 years.
