Griptilian for Fishing?

Get a Mission Titanium folder. When you're done fishing you can leave the knife in the tackle box or clip it to your pocket. It wont rust-ever. Catch and release.

Of course it will work to cut line, but I prefer to use my Leatherman and my AG Russell Woodswalker fixed blade while fishing. I have used the Leatherman in fresh and salt water without an issue.
 
Do your self a favor and grab a salt model from Spyderco. The designs are time tested by a decade or so and the steel is FANTASTIC! I carry an Atlantic Salt with teeth :) It just won't die.

Hi, I just recently became a knife enthusiast, and got a few el cheapo's before finally getting my first (and only, for now) quality folder, a Benchmade 551 Griptilian in PE. I plan on USING this knife, its not just going to sit on a shelf looking pretty (I don't think a Grip was meant to be a display piece, but a user.)

My question is, would it be a good idea to take it with me on my many freshwater fishing trips, you know, for stuff like cutting line, rope, opening lure packages, etc. The things I'm worried about are slime and all the gunk that
seems to always be on your hands while fishing getting in the checkering of the handles, and the blade corroding from the water exposure. I don't guess the water would be a problem if I wipe it down when I get home, as its not salt water... But I would like you guys' opinions on the matter, as most of you are much more seasoned knife knuts than me.

The main question is, is the BM510 a good general purpose folder for outdoor (mainly fishing) use?

I use my 550 on fishing trips both fresh and salt water along with my leatherman. It will not rust just wipe the steel and dry it and you will ok.
