Spyderco Rock Salt™ Orange Sprint Run™* Archived Products

Designed By Renowned Custom Knifemaker Ed Schempp, Spyderco’S Original Rock Salt™ Is An All-Purpose “Camp” Knife Inspired By Schempp’S Experiences As A Competitive Cutting Champion. The Unique Downward Angle Of Its Handle In Relation To The Blade Allows The User To Maintain A Strong Wrist Position During Use, Ensuring Maximum Power And Control. Although Deceptively Lightweight For Its Size, The Rock Salt Cuts With The Authority Of A Much Heavier Knife While Greatly Reducing User Fatigue.

The Original Rock Salt Was Introduced In 2008 And Was The Largest Knife To Feature H-1® Steel—An Extraordinary Nitrogen-Based Alloy That Is Extremely Corrosion Resistant. In 2011, It Was Discontinued And Replaced By The Schempp Rock—A Nearly Identical Design Rendered In Conventional Vg-10 Stainless Steel With A Full-Flat Grind.

This Limited-Edition Sprint Run Of The Rock Salt Faithfully Replicates The Spirit And Detail Of The Original, Including Its Broad, Hollow-Ground H-1 Blade, Full-Tang Construction, And Practically Immunity To Rust. Its Injection-Molded Fiberglass-Reinforced-Nylon (Frn) Handle Scales Are Identical In Form To The Black Scales Of The Original Version, But Feature A Distinctive High-Visibility Orange Color. Like The Original Scales, They Also Include Spyderco’S Signature Bi-Directional Texture™ Pattern For A Positive Grip In Even The Most Demanding Conditions.

The Rock Salt’S Injection Molded Polymer Sheath Features A Symmetrical Design That Supports Ambidextrous Carry. Snap-Fit Retention Locks The Knife Securely Into The Sheath, While A Firm Pull Or Thumb Push-Off Releases It Smoothly Without The Need For Straps Or Other Retention Devices. A G-Clip™ Attachment Allows The Sheath To Be Worn Either Vertically Or In A Canted Position On The Belt And Is Reversible For Left Or Right-Side Carry. Eyelets Around The Perimeter Of The Sheath Can Also Be Used To Lash The Knife To Packs, Military Webbing, And Other Platforms.
