If the Spyderco Atlantic Salt’s price tag of just under $150 seems like a lot for a knife with such a narrow focus, it’s probably because you haven’t been at sea enough to blow through knives faster than MRE sporks. High-end alternatives start around $50 for a basic dive knife and go up in price as you gain features and more sophisticated steel alloys.Įditor’s note: the Spyderco Atlantic Salt also made Task & Purpose’s list of the best pocket knives of the year. The cheap stuff can be picked up for as little as $10, but don’t plan on keeping it very long.



Being able to slice through dirty rope and netting isn’t just efficient, it can mean the difference between life and death.īoat knives tend to come in two varieties: those that are cheap enough to be disposable, and those that are built to last. Hell, even roughnecks need gear that can withstand the various hazards of life on the open sea. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the Navy or Coast Guard on a merchant ship or fishing vessel you need to be equipped to untangle yourself from a sticky situation in a hurry. In that case of the Atlantic Salt, that comes in the form of a knife designed for life on the high seas. Leave it to the people at Spyderco to build something so incredibly niche that it feels like it was made just for you. But as much as I love a versatile piece of gear that I can carry anywhere, I also appreciate equipment that’s purpose-built to do one thing exceptionally well. I’m going to look into the site and see what impact it will have for me.My fellow Task & Purpose gear testers and I have put a bunch of EDC and tactical knives to the test lately, and there are more where those came from. So, even if you don’t make revenue for now, support mobile devices and the retention rate will increase a lot & the bounce rate will decrease significantly! For new projects, always focus on making a design mobile-friendly, then continue with computer screens.Īddressing another issue, your Terms & Privacy Conditions seem to have a dead link at the “RoStats plus page” and has the sentence: “…the right to bar users…”, which is probably supposed to be “ban”/“suspend”. If our website wasn’t responsive, we would probably lose 20-30% of our revenue (which is a few hundred dollars / month). I’m running an application centre service with xJon_as, which experienced a large portion of mobile users accessing our site. I’d really recommend to work on responsiveness as soon as possible.

Our website was created to be mainly used on computers/laptops, mobile support is limited as our attention is mainly focused on other things in context to the website.
