H-1 steel FRN handle 4-position carry A dynamic combination of the third-generation Endura one-piece handle design and the ultra-corrosion-resistant properties of H-1 steel, the original Pacific Salt was an incredibly capable full-service folding knife. The original black-bladed model endured extensive military testing to become an issue item in aircrew survival kits. Following that proud tradition, the Pacific Salt 2 Black Blade includes a high-traction Bi-Directional Texture pattern, enhanced handle ergonomics, and a versatile four-position pocket clip. In addition to these features, this knife integrates an H-1 blade with a linerless handle and a non-reflective titanium carbonitride (TiCN) blade coating and matching black coatings on its clip and hardware. This knife was born to perform in and around the water.
