Different Izula steel ?

I can see a Sainless varriation of the Izula, but I don't think there will be any thinning of the blade. Seems to me they made it as a small survivor knife as it's namesake. I am sure testing shows it to be strong for it's size with it's current geometery. If they thinned it, it would probably have to change it's name to something else....like the Rat mini light saber. :-)

An Izula in H1 with a fully serrated blade would be an amazing sailing knife. I know the H1 is expensive, but I love my H1 spyderco folders. The work hardening is only a problem if you don't use the knife.

I'd prefer something slightly larger than an izula to take sailing. Preferably with a lambsfoot style blade, and a chunky handle. I wouldnt want serrations personally, and wouldnt really mind what steel as long as it holds an edge well. Even carbon steel is easy enough to keep going around salt water just takes a little TLC.

I agree with you about the sheepsfoot blade, but I figured that the normal blade shape and H1 would also make it a good dive knife, which I believe would be comercially viable, a purely sailing knife wouldn't have nearly the market size.

Serrations are a must for me for a knife I will be using on a boat, just my own preference.
