The Spyderco Assist Salt C79PSYL is the full-feature marine and water rescue folder — H-2 nitrogen-alloyed steel in a 3.70-inch combo edge blade with assisted opening, Yellow FRN handle, integrated carbide glass breaker tip, and integrated seat belt cutter hook, delivering outstanding saltwater corrosion resistance in the most comprehensively equipped rescue folder in the Spyderco Salt lineup, with automatic-comparable deployment speed, a glass breaker for vehicle rescue, a seat belt cutter for restraint removal, and a full 3.70-inch combo edge blade for sustained rescue cutting — all in a corrosion-immune Yellow FRN package at $150.

The H-2 blade is a modified nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel with outstanding corrosion resistance in saltwater and marine environments approaching H-1's near-absolute immunity — delivering the Salt designation's core promise in a rescue folder that will be carried as safety equipment on a vessel, in a vehicle, or in a first responder kit where the blade must be ready when needed regardless of carry conditions. The combo edge is the functional specification that makes the Assist Salt the most versatile cutting configuration in the Salt rescue lineup — a plain edge section near the tip handles controlled slicing and detail cuts, while the serrated heel cuts through rope, webbing, seatbelts, and synthetic cordage faster with less effort in push-cutting rescue applications, delivering both edge geometries in a single 3.70-inch blade. The assisted opening mechanism deploys the blade at near-automatic speed from a closed position — a thumb actuator drives the blade open completely without requiring a two-handed opening action, delivering the deployment speed that rescue scenarios demand without the legal restrictions of a true automatic knife in most jurisdictions. The carbide glass breaker tip is a hardened carbide point integrated into the handle end of the Assist Salt — designed to break tempered automotive glass with a single sharp impact, the essential vehicle rescue tool that enables access to a trapped occupant when doors cannot be opened. The integrated seat belt cutter hook on the handle spine captures and cuts seatbelts in a single pulling motion, preserving the main blade edge for other cutting tasks. Together the glass breaker, seat belt cutter, and combo edge blade make the Assist Salt the most comprehensively equipped corrosion-immune rescue folder in the Knifeworks Spyderco lineup. The Yellow FRN handle provides maximum rescue visibility in any carry environment.

• Blade: H-2 nitrogen-alloyed stainless, drop point profile, satin finish, combo edge — outstanding marine corrosion resistance approaching H-1; plain edge near tip for controlled slicing; serrated heel for rope, webbing, and seatbelt cutting; 3.70-inch blade delivers full-size rescue cutting reach
• Assisted Opening: Thumb actuator driven assisted mechanism — near-automatic deployment speed from closed; one-hand opening without two-handed manipulation; legal in most jurisdictions as an assisted opener rather than automatic
• Glass Breaker: Integrated carbide tip on handle butt — hardened carbide point for breaking tempered automotive glass in vehicle rescue; single sharp impact breaks glass without blade deployment
• Seat Belt Cutter: Integrated hook cutter on handle spine — captures and cuts seatbelts and straps in a single pulling motion without deploying the main blade
• Handle: Yellow FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), textured grip, Assist Salt profile — chemically inert and unaffected by saltwater, UV, and marine biological exposure; Yellow is the highest-visibility rescue carry color

Ideal For

First responders, EMS, law enforcement, marine safety officers, and vehicle rescue buyers who want the most comprehensively equipped corrosion-immune rescue folder available — the C79PSYL at $150 combines every rescue tool in a single H-2 Salt platform: assisted opening for immediate deployment, combo edge for versatile cutting, glass breaker for vehicle rescue access, and seat belt cutter for restraint removal, all in H-2 corrosion-immune Yellow FRN. Boaters, sailors, and marine safety carry buyers who want a rescue folder that covers both water rescue and vehicle accident scenarios — the Assist Salt's combination of H-2 corrosion immunity and full vehicle rescue capability makes it the right rescue folder for buyers whose carry environments include both marine and vehicle contexts where a single rescue tool must be ready for either scenario. Buyers comparing the Assist Salt C79PSYL to the Saver Salt C118SYL who want the larger 3.70-inch blade, assisted opening, and glass breaker capability — the Assist Salt delivers more blade reach, faster deployment, and a glass breaker that the Saver Salt does not have; the Saver Salt delivers a blunt tip safety geometry and a simpler non-assisted mechanism at $35 less.

H-2 nitrogen-alloyed stainless with outstanding marine corrosion resistance, a 3.70-inch combo edge blade that handles both precise slicing and aggressive rope cutting, assisted opening for near-automatic deployment, a carbide glass breaker for vehicle rescue access, and a seat belt cutter for restraint removal — in Yellow FRN that is found instantly in any rescue situation — the Spyderco Assist Salt C79PSYL is the most comprehensively equipped corrosion-immune rescue folder at $150.
