Spyderco Salt 2 – 3" Folding Clip Point, Serrated H1® Steel
Green FRN Handle with Bi-Directional Texturing • Includes 4-Position Pocket Clip
Model: C88FSGR2 • UPC: 716104014200
Built to thrive where other knives rust, the Spyderco Salt 2 takes the proven Delica®-size platform and upgrades it with H1® nitrogen-based steel—legendary for its near-immunity to corrosion. Add Spyderco’s aggressive serrated (SpyderEdge) clip-point blade for fast, efficient cutting in rope, webbing, and fibrous materials, and you’ve got a lightweight, do-anything folder engineered for marine, fishing, boating, and everyday carry. The Green FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) handle with Bi-Directional Texturing locks into your grip wet or dry, while the ambidextrous Round Hole™ and a secure back lock (with Boye Dent) keep operation simple and safe.
If you want a compact EDC that shrugs off salt, sweat, and weather—and still slices like a laser—the Salt 2 C88FSGR2 is your go-anywhere workhorse.
Why the Salt 2 Stands Out
H1® Steel = Rustproof Confidence
H1 uses nitrogen in place of carbon, delivering exceptional corrosion resistance in saltwater, humidity, and sweat. It’s the go-to for fishing crews, surfers, sailors, and anyone in harsh environments.
Serrated SpyderEdge for Speed
The factory serrated edge chews through rope, line, straps, and fibrous material with minimal effort—perfect for dock lines, anchor rope, and emergency cuts.
Grippy Green FRN with Bi-Directional Texturing
Spyderco’s FRN scales are tough and ultralight. The molded texture bites forward and back for traction when hands are wet, greasy, or gloved.
Ambidextrous, EDC-Friendly
Signature Round Hole™ enables quick one-hand opening (either hand). The four-position pocket clip (tip-up/tip-down, left/right) and reversible carry fit any preference.
Back Lock Security
The classic back lock with Boye Dent resists accidental release under a tight grip; simple to clean, reliable in sand, salt, and grit.
Lightweight, Compact, Capable
A 3" clip-point blade gives versatile tip control in a pocketable package that disappears until you need it.

Performance You’ll Notice
Marine-Ready Durability
From dock spray to ocean immersion, H1® steel resists rust where conventional steels fail—cut, rinse, and keep moving.
Effortless Rope & Webbing Cuts
The serrated clip-point blade grabs and slices braid, mono, paracord, nylon straps, and heavy cardboard with minimal pressure.
Secure Grip in Wet Conditions
The Bi-Directional Texturing locks your hand in under load, helping prevent slips during tough pulls and draw cuts.
Simple to Clean
Rinse with fresh water after salt exposure; the open-back construction and FRN scales make maintenance quick and easy.
Ideal Use Cases
Fishing & Boating: Cut leaders, dock lines, and netting; corrosion-proof performance in brine and spray.
Kayak, SUP & Surf Kits: Lightweight safety cutter that won’t rust out in a wet pack.
Work & Utility: Rope, banding, pallet wrap, and packaging around shops and warehouses.
Outdoor EDC: Camp kitchen prep, cordage duty, and general trail chores.
Care & Maintenance
Rinse & Dry: After saltwater use, rinse with fresh water and shake dry; light oil on pivot if desired.
Sharpening Serrations: Use a tapered ceramic/diamond rod that fits the gullets; short, controlled strokes preserve bite.
Clip & Screws: Check clip screws periodically; FRN holds well but benefits from snug hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will H1® really resist rust?
A: Yes—H1’s nitrogen-enriched formula gives outstanding corrosion resistance, making it ideal for saltwater and sweaty EDC environments.
Q: Is the Salt 2 truly ambidextrous?
A: Absolutely. The Round Hole™ and 4-position clip support left- or right-hand, tip-up or tip-down carry.
Q: Why choose serrations over plain edge?
A: Serrations excel in fibrous materials (rope, straps, wet line) and stay cutting effectively between touch-ups.
Q: What’s the handle like when wet?
A: The Bi-Directional Texturing grips in both directions, improving control in rain, surf, or sweat.
Q: Is the Salt 2 the same size as the Delica® 4?
A: The Salt 2 shares the Delica-class footprint, tuned for the Salt series’ corrosion-proof mission.
