The Spyderco Tasman Salt 2 C106PBK2 is the full-size H-2 plain edge hawkbill Tasman Salt 2 in Black FRN — H-2 nitrogen-alloyed steel with outstanding saltwater corrosion resistance in a 3.00-inch hawkbill plain edge blade, Black FRN handle, and back lock, delivering the most blade reach in the Tasman Salt 2 lineup with the hawkbill's pulling-cut line-cutting geometry, plain edge conventional sharpening ease, and the most carry-neutral Black FRN colorway at the same $115 as the other Tasman Salt 2 variants.

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 compact marine carry folder stored wet and exposed to saltwater without daily maintenance. The 3.00-inch blade length is the longest in the Tasman Salt 2 family written this session — 0.20 inches longer than the 2.80-inch Yellow Tasman Salt 2 variants, providing meaningfully more hawkbill cutting surface and pulling-cut leverage on medium to heavier fishing line, cordage, and netting than the 2.80-inch variants can achieve. The hawkbill blade profile creates an inwardly curved geometry where the edge faces inward, hooking around rope, fishing line, and cordage and slicing through with a single controlled pulling stroke — the most efficient pure line-cutting geometry available in the compact Salt folder format. On a 3.00-inch blade the hawkbill's pulling-cut efficiency scales up to handle a broader range of cordage diameters than the compact 2.30-inch Dragonfly 2 hawkbill or 2.80-inch Tasman Salt 2 hawkbill variants — the largest hawkbill Salt folder blade in the Knifeworks compact Salt lineup this session. The plain edge specification on the hawkbill produces a cleaner, finer pulling-cut geometry than a serrated hawkbill — sharpens readily on any conventional flat stone or rod the buyer already owns, and takes a refined edge that slices cleanly through monofilament, leader, and cordage with precision. The Black FRN handle is the most carry-neutral colorway in the Tasman Salt 2 lineup, carrying without visual signature in any environment.

• Blade: H-2 nitrogen-alloyed stainless, hawkbill profile, satin finish, plain edge — outstanding marine corrosion resistance approaching H-1; hawkbill inward curve hooks and slices line with a single pulling stroke; 3.00-inch blade — the longest hawkbill in the Tasman Salt 2 lineup — provides maximum pulling-cut leverage on medium to heavier cordage; plain edge sharpens on conventional abrasives
• Handle: Black FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon), textured bidirectional grip, Tasman Salt 2 profile — chemically inert and unaffected by saltwater, UV, and marine biological exposure; Black is the most carry-neutral Tasman Salt 2 colorway; carries without visual signature in any carry context
• Deployment / Lock: Back Lock via Spyderco Round Hole — back lock provides reliable blade security; ambidextrous Round Hole allows one-hand opening from any grip position including with wet or gloved hands
• Carry: Compact Tasman Salt 2 profile, tip-up right-hand clip, Black FRN — H-2 hawkbill plain edge at $115; 3.00-inch blade — the longest Tasman Salt 2 blade in this session

Buyers choosing between the Black hawkbill plain C106PBK2 and the Yellow hawkbill plain C106PYL2 at the same $115 who want the same hawkbill plain edge configuration in Black carry-neutral carry over Yellow high-visibility — both deliver H-2 hawkbill plain edge Tasman Salt 2 back lock; the C106PBK2 has a 3.00-inch blade in Black FRN while the C106PYL2 has a 2.80-inch blade in Yellow FRN. Offshore, commercial fishing, and kayak carry buyers who want the largest compact hawkbill Salt folder available in a subdued Black build — the C106PBK2's 3.00-inch H-2 plain hawkbill in Black FRN is the maximum hawkbill blade reach in the compact Tasman Salt 2 platform at the accessible $115 price point.

H-2 nitrogen-alloyed stainless with outstanding marine corrosion resistance, the longest hawkbill blade in the Tasman Salt 2 lineup at 3.00 inches for maximum pulling-cut leverage on medium to heavier cordage, plain edge that sharpens on any conventional system, Black FRN that carries without visual signature in any environment — the Spyderco Tasman Salt 2 C106PBK2 is the full-size H-2 plain edge hawkbill Tasman Salt 2 in Black at $115.
