Very nice knife, Josh, but I don't think it has anything to do with boats. I work with dozens of USCG licensed operators and that is not something they would be interested in.
 
Maybe not a real modern kind of thing... I was thinking like old school. Moby Dick and The Old Man and the Sea. I know sailors tied monkey fist knots and things like that, maybe this is where I'm seeing the nautical thing.
 
I think it is a great knife and wrap. I just wanted to point out that there are some pretty specific boat designs built around safety and purpose. I only know because I have researched it a bit and have also had some specific requests from the people that I know who use them. I hope I didn't come off harsh. Sometimes we are all so sweet to each other it's hard to separate the smoke from the fire.

Nice knife Josh. Prior coastie here. When I was a deck hand prior to going aviation, I preferred serrations for thick line and a blunt tip (to not slip and stab myself in slippery conditions. That doesn't mean that no sailors would like it - I'm sure some would.

The only obvious thing is that if you were going to use around saltwater you would want H1 or something similar. If I'm not mistaken, tool steel will rust easily.
 
Thanks guys for all your nice comments. Tim, you're right. There's something about the look of it that made me think marine/nautical etc. I didn't mean for this thing to be around saltwater, or design it for those purposes. Just a EDC beater.

I'm just gonna use the hell out of it, and write this one down as a fun experiment.
