After doing K9 SAR on Boat Crew in NOLA, I've found myself looking for a new knife for a very specific application. With NOLA being a HazMat, the only safe way to feed my K9 Water was directly from fresh water bottles. Anything else became to quickly contaminated. Each time I wanted him to drink, I'd take a small clean plastic bottle of spring water, slice the top clean off, and now he'd have a safe little dog bowl to drink out of. Needless to say, my S30V Spyderco Military now has some corrosion issues. I'm now going to look at purchasing a knife just for this application. The knife will have to be corrosion resistant, well made, and will have to be a plain edge. It will have to be a plain edge because serrated edges can create sharp edges on the water bottles. The Atlantic Salt looks perfect, but I am worried that the tip might not be able to pierce a plastic water bottle. Also, is there any hope that a Spyderco Salt will be able to handle around 40 or 50 bottles between sharpening? If not, what would you guys recommend? What steel has enough edge holding ability, while still being corrosion resistant?
