SPYDERCO: Caspian2 Salt

[DevilDiver]

I have been looking for this dive knife that was scheduled to come out early summer. I have yet to find it. Does anyone have any info on this product?

This innovative cutter is made from a seven-inch piece of H1 stainless steel, which uses nitrogen in place of carbon in its steel matrix. According to Spyderco, this allows for superior rust resistance plus enables the three-inch blade to hold a super-sharp edge. The unit we tested was a prototype, and its cutting edge was half serrated, half plain. There was also a line cutter and a blunt tip for prying. But what really helped the knife's efficiency was the handle. First off, it has a cutout to reduce overall weight. What's left is overlaid with nonslip fiberglass-reinforced nylon. The key to the design is the index finger hole and textured metal spine where blade and handle meet. Put your index finger through the hole, and your thumb on the textured spine, and you've got yourself a rock-solid grip that radically increases leverage for sawing through all kinds of nasty stuff. The sheath wasn't available at press time, but Spyderco says it will feature a button release that lines up with the index finger hole for increased security.

It's not out yet. They've been promising it for over a year, but there hasn't been any news for a long time. I don't think it's really a front-burner issue for them.
