Enuff - FRN / SpyderEdge / Sheepfoot
The latest addition to Spyderco’s popular Enuff series is the Enuff Sheepfoot in H1 steel. Like all the knives in the Enuff series, this knife is designed to provide “enough” blade for even the toughest cutting chores, while maintaining a small, easy-to-carry size. However, thanks to the use of H1 steel, this version of the Enuff is also completely rustproof. All Enuff knives feature skeletonized full-tang construction for strength and light weight and identical handle scales injection molded from durable fiberglass-reinforced nylon. The scales are contoured to provide a hand-filling grip and boast Spyderco’s signature Bi-Directional Texturing pattern. Since the H1 Enuff is ideal for use around water, it features high-visibility yellow scales that make it easy to locate—even in murky water. The H1 Enuff features a hollow-ground sheepfoot blade with a fully serrated SpyderEdge edge for aggressive cutting performance, especially on fibrous materials like rope, cord, and webbing. Its H1 steel is a nitrogen-based alloy with only trace amounts of carbon, the element that causes steels to rust. It is also an austenitic steel that work hardens instead of hardening through a traditional heat-treating process. Together these properties yield a blade that is 100% rustproof and features an exceptionally hard cutting edge and a springy, ductile back. Enuff series knives all use the same injection molded polymer sheath design. It features two “ears” at the mouth that snap around the leading edge of the handle scales to hold the knife securely in place when sheathed. Spyderco’s angle-adjustable G-Clip attachment supports a variety of carry options.
SPYDERCO SALT SERIES –
Rust is the nemesis of all cutting tools—particularly those designed specifically for use in and around the water. Spyderco’s remarkable Salt Series tackles this age-old problem through the groundbreaking use of nitrogen-based blade steels like H1 and LC200N. The result is a diverse selection of knives that are incredibly resistant to corrosion and ideally suited to the needs of divers, fishermen, military personnel, and water sports enthusiasts.
H1 is a specialized austenitic alloy that uses 0.10% nitrogen instead of carbon to achieve its steel-like qualities. In addition to making it extremely corrosion resistant, it also makes it a “work hardening” material. Unlike the heat-based hardening and tempering used for conventional steels, H1 hardens through the mechanical processes of shaping and grinding the blade. This unique property also makes it significantly tougher than carbon-based steels.
LC200N is a nitrogen-rich martensitic steel that achieves its hardness through a conventional heat-treatment process. While it does contain a trace amount of carbon, its high nitrogen and chromium content give it superior corrosion resistance and toughness, even at the high degrees of hardness required for knife blades. By using these extraordinary alloys, other corrosion-resistant materials, and the latest advances in technology and manufacturing methods, Spyderco continues to wage a relentless war on rust. And like everything else Spyderco does, the more they learn, the better their products get.
