I have quite a few quality knives, Benchmade, Kershaw, Gerber, Buck, and Spyderco plus others and more than one of each brand.
I started kayaking and needed something for salt water so I wouldn't ruin a good knife. It's a sad fact that a lot of fatalities and near miss experiences happen because of entanglement while trying to exit the kayak while inverted. A serrated knife cuts rope better than a straight edge and thats why I bought this gem from Spyderco.
Spyderco has a good name for selling quality products and the Atlantic Salt is a beautiful addition to their lineup. Its Rust Free Serrated Edge is the perfect knife for my needs and it is impressively sharp. I shaved some hair off my arm easily and without effort as well as cut my finger playing with it, believe me it is sharp!
The serrated blade will leave a jagged cut but in an emergency I don't really care what my opposition looks like when I am done, all that matters is if I need it-it will do what its designed to do without falter. Even though it's not pointed it could gut a fish easily and quickly.
The Spyderco Atlantic Salt Rust Free Serrated Edge Knife is a high quality item that is worth more than it costs. I highly recommend this knife to anyone who works or plays around salt water, or fresh water for that matter. The H1 steel will not rust so if your not like me and don't care for your knives just rinse it off and throw it in your tackle box without worry.
Its thin and light, perfect for clipping to the front of my PFD and its bright yellow so it can be easily found if dropped on shore or hiking through the bush. It has a hole to attach a lanyard while on the water and the clip is reversible for left or right hand use.
I am thoroughly impressed with the Spyderco Atlantic Salt, if I ever loose it I will buy another without hesitation.
