The Spyderco Salt 2 C88PWCYL2 is the H-1 plain edge Wharncliffe Salt 2 — H-1 nitrogen-alloyed steel with near-absolute saltwater corrosion immunity in a 2.90-inch Wharncliffe plain edge blade, Yellow FRN handle, and back lock, delivering H-1's absolute corrosion ceiling in the straight-edge Wharncliffe geometry that maximizes flat surface slicing efficiency, in the highest-visibility Yellow FRN colorway at $110 — the most accessible Wharncliffe Salt 2 configuration and the only one with H-1's near-carbon-free corrosion immunity.

The H-1 blade is a nitrogen-alloyed precipitation-hardened steel that is virtually carbon-free — functionally immune to corrosion in saltwater, marine, and high-humidity environments where every other steel, including LC200N, will eventually show surface oxidation under continuous salt exposure. In a compact Salt 2 folder carried continuously in saltwater environments without maintenance — aboard a vessel, in a PFD pocket, on dive gear, stored wet in a tackle box — H-1's near-carbon-free absolute corrosion immunity is the right steel specification over LC200N when the carry environment is the most demanding. The plain edge specification on the Wharncliffe profile is the choice that maximizes H-1's sharpening versatility — a plain edge H-1 blade sharpens readily on conventional flat stones, rods, and guided systems without specialized equipment, and the Wharncliffe's completely straight edge sharpens even more uniformly than a drop point belly curve because every inch of the edge contacts the stone at the same angle throughout the sharpening stroke. The Wharncliffe blade profile delivers a completely straight cutting edge with no belly curve, paired with a flat spine that drops linearly to the tip — maximizing edge contact with flat surfaces and materials in push cuts and draw cuts simultaneously, suited to food prep, precise slicing, and the full range of daily marine utility cutting tasks where a consistent straight edge contact across the full blade length is advantageous. The Yellow FRN handle is the highest-visibility Salt series color, located instantly in any marine environment, and the compact Salt 2 profile at approximately 2.60 oz fits front pocket, PFD pocket, and tackle box carry as naturally as any EDC folder.

• Blade: H-1 nitrogen-alloyed steel, Wharncliffe profile, satin finish, plain edge — virtually carbon-free nitrogen alloy with functional corrosion immunity in saltwater and marine environments; Wharncliffe straight edge maximizes flat surface slicing efficiency; plain edge sharpens uniformly on conventional abrasives; 2.90-inch blade in compact Salt 2 format
• Handle: Yellow FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), textured bidirectional grip, compact Salt 2 profile — chemically inert and unaffected by saltwater, UV, and marine biological exposure; Yellow is the highest-visibility Salt series color; compact Salt 2 profile at approximately 2.60 oz
• 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 any grip position including with wet or gloved hands
• Carry: Approximately 2.60 oz, tip-up right-hand clip, compact Salt 2 profile — H-1 Wharncliffe plain edge at $110; $20 less than the LC200N Wharncliffe SpyderEdge Green C88FSWCGR2

Ideal For

Marine, diving, and offshore carry buyers who want H-1's absolute corrosion ceiling in the Wharncliffe straight-edge plain format — the C88PWCYL2 delivers H-1's near-absolute rust immunity that LC200N cannot match under the most continuous saltwater exposure, in a Wharncliffe plain edge that sharpens on conventional abrasives and maximizes flat surface slicing efficiency, at $110. Buyers choosing between the H-1 plain Wharncliffe C88PWCYL2 and the LC200N SpyderEdge Wharncliffe C88FSWCGR2 who want absolute corrosion immunity over edge retention and conventional sharpening ease over SpyderEdge line-cutting performance — the C88PWCYL2 is $20 less, uses H-1's absolute corrosion ceiling, and sharpens on conventional systems; the C88FSWCGR2 uses LC200N's better edge retention and SpyderEdge's faster push-cutting line cutting. Fly anglers, freshwater and saltwater fishermen, and marine food prep buyers who want H-1's absolute corrosion immunity in a plain edge Wharncliffe geometry that produces the cleanest, most controlled slicing cuts — the C88PWCYL2's straight H-1 plain edge sharpens uniformly across the full blade length and produces clean cuts on monofilament, tippet, food, and bait prep materials in the most compact and affordable Wharncliffe Salt 2 configuration.

H-1 steel with near-absolute saltwater corrosion immunity that LC200N cannot match under continuous exposure, a plain edge Wharncliffe that sharpens uniformly on any conventional system and maximizes flat surface slicing efficiency, Yellow FRN found instantly in any marine environment in the compact Salt 2 format — the Spyderco Salt 2 C88PWCYL2 is the H-1 plain edge Wharncliffe marine carry folder at $110.
