The Spyderco Salt 2 C88FPGR2 is the compact LC200N plain edge marine EDC — a 3.00-inch LC200N blade in a satin plain edge finish, Green FRN handle, and back lock in Spyderco's proven Salt 2 platform, delivering maximum corrosion resistance in a compact carry format that fits a front pocket, PFD pocket, or tackle box as naturally as any EDC folder at a price point that makes LC200N's marine performance accessible to serious buyers who don't need a full-size blade.

The LC200N blade is a nitrogen-alloyed stainless steel that achieves outstanding corrosion resistance through high nitrogen content rather than the high carbon content that drives conventional stainless corrosion vulnerability — LC200N's nitrogen-based alloy produces corrosion resistance that performs well under sustained saltwater and marine exposure, approaching H-1's saltwater immunity while delivering meaningfully better edge retention than H-1. In a compact 3.00-inch daily carry folder carried in marine and coastal environments, LC200N's corrosion resistance is the primary specification — a blade that will not rust when the knife is left in a PFD pocket after a saltwater trip, exposed to fish blood and brine during fishing, or carried in a high-humidity coastal environment without daily maintenance. The satin plain edge specification makes the C88FPGR2 the most maintenance-accessible Salt 2 variant — a plain edge LC200N blade sharpens readily on conventional flat stones, rods, and guided systems without requiring specialized tools, and LC200N's nitrogen-alloyed composition produces a clean, refined edge geometry that responds well to conventional sharpening. The Green FRN handle is the field-appropriate marine carry color — a muted, natural green that suits fishing, kayaking, and coastal carry environments — and FRN's fiberglass-reinforced nylon construction is completely chemically inert and unaffected by saltwater, UV, and marine biological exposure.

• Blade: LC200N nitrogen-alloyed stainless, drop point profile, satin finish, plain edge — nitrogen-based alloy with outstanding corrosion resistance approaching H-1 in marine environments; better edge retention than H-1; plain edge sharpens readily on conventional abrasives; satin finish shows the steel's natural character
• Handle: Green FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), textured bidirectional grip, compact Salt 2 profile — FRN is chemically inert and unaffected by saltwater, UV, and marine biological exposure; Green is the field-appropriate marine carry color suited to fishing, kayaking, and coastal environments
• Deployment / Lock: Back Lock via Spyderco Round Hole — back lock provides reliable blade security in the compact Salt 2 platform; ambidextrous Round Hole allows one-hand opening from a wide range of grip positions and hand sizes
• Carry: Approximately 2.60 oz, tip-up right-hand clip, compact Salt 2 profile — lightweight FRN construction; 3.00-inch blade fits front pocket, PFD pocket, and tackle box carry naturally; the Salt 2 is the compact daily carry Salt folder for buyers who don't need full-size blade reach

Ideal For

Fishermen, kayakers, coastal hikers, and marine EDC buyers who want LC200N's outstanding corrosion resistance in the most compact and accessible Salt folder format — the C88FPGR2 at $140 delivers maximum nitrogen-alloyed corrosion resistance in a 3.00-inch plain edge package that carries as naturally as any daily front pocket folder while performing in marine environments where conventional stainless steels corrode. Buyers who want a dedicated marine folder as a secondary carry piece alongside a primary EDC without the blade length and carry weight of the Native Chief or Pacific Salt 2 — the Salt 2's 3.00-inch blade and compact FRN construction make it the most pocketable LC200N Salt folder in the lineup, sized for secondary marine carry rather than primary working carry. Buyers choosing between the plain edge C88FPGR2 and other Salt 2 variants who want the conventional sharpening advantage of a plain edge over SpyderEdge — LC200N sharpens readily on flat stones and conventional guided systems, and the plain edge C88FPGR2 is the right choice for buyers who maintain their own edges and want a marine folder they can sharpen on any equipment they already own.

LC200N nitrogen-alloyed stainless with outstanding marine corrosion resistance and better edge retention than H-1, a plain edge that sharpens on any conventional system, Green FRN that is chemically inert in any marine environment, and the back lock in Spyderco's compact 3.00-inch Salt 2 platform — the Spyderco Salt 2 C88FPGR2 is the compact LC200N plain edge marine EDC at $140.
