EDC Knives for use in a saltwater / marine environment

[wave1911]

I’m looking for a knife to EDC in a saltwater environment. Something less than $200 and 3”-3.5”. I had A few Benchmade sin D2 and just being near the water they started to rust very quickly.

Spyderco has a line of knives in H1 or lc200n. If going for plain edge, I'd go for one in lc200n, if serrated H1 is really good.

I swear this type of thread pop ups at least once a week, and the answer is always

SPYDERCO SALT SERIES

Benchmade H2O Griptilian in N680 steel since you appear to like the Grips. I believe it is discontinued but there are some out there still. I saw one the other day from a retailer for $119.

Or Anything from the Salt line.

What, really? I need to take better care of mine then.

I need to correct myself. I was misinformed. They appear to not be discontinued. Sorry my bad.

Boye Knives; what Spyderco wants to be when it meets salt water.

Boye knives are made from a cobalt alloy, which cannot rust.

Spyderco salt series is H1 which is extremely corrosion resistant.

Any Titanium blade would work as well.

I carry an old Buck, or a CQC-7. Just wash it out with fresh water and no problem.

What he said.Any stainless blade washed in water and dried can withstand any condition.
