Hawkbill blades are uniquely functional cutting tools because they “capture” the material being cut, drawing it into the concave edge to generate powerful, focused cutting power. The original Tasman Salt combined this aggressive cutting dynamic with the 100% rustproof qualities of nitrogen-based H-1 steel to create a near-perfect tool for cutting netting, line, and other fibrous materials. The Tasman 2 takes another significant step forward with an improved handle design based on the best-selling Delica 4. Injection molded from tough yellow or black FRN, the Tasman 2’s handle features improved ergonomics, a non-slip Bi-Directional Texturing pattern, and a four-position titanium pocket clip. Its handle is still home to a solid back lock mechanism that securely locks the PlainEdge or SpyderEdge blade when in use.
