The Spyderco
Tasman Salt Hawkbill blade lends itself well to the marine/fishing
industry where cutting line, webbing, netting and rope is done at arm's
length quickly and efficiently. The curve holds what you're cutting
against the sharped edge keeping it from slipping off the tip.
Blade Lenght: 2 15/16 in. (64mm)
Closed Lenght: 4 in. (102mm)
Overall Lenght: 6 13/16 in. (75mm)
Blade Steel; H-1
Weight: 2oz (57g)

Steel
A myth in the knife world is
that there exists steel with high-performance cutting abilities that
cannot rust. Many non-rusting blade steels make it to the market but
they all scarifice edge retention and cutting power. Myth becomes
reality with the introduction of H-1 steel. H-1 is a
preciptation-hardened alloy with .1% nitrogen that perfporms like
carbon in the steel matrix but won't react to chlorinr, making rust. It
holds a sharpened edge comparable to premium carbon-based knife steels.
Independent testing by Crucible Steel Inc. shows H-1 work-hardens at
the cutting edge when processed and sharpened. raising Rc hardness and
durability. Simply put, H-1 is ideal for advanced cutting performance
in and around fresh and saltwater. Internal knife components are also
impervious to rust and pitting.
