If price is an issue, I promise you spending $20 on the Dozier 4062 will make you very happy. I fish in high salt and mine doesn't have a speck of rust in 3-4 years with just a quick rinse after use. Read what I wrote on it above. Truly a great knife and sharpens up super quick. Also, there is the 4065 version with a blade shape a little better for filleting on the spot. But I still swear by these 4062's for all around use. Below is a photo of my used and abused Dozier with no rust and a new one I customized with forward jimping. You'll notice that my new one doesn't have the black blade coating because I was so happy with the rust resistance that I didn't feel the need for extra protection against the elements. Tight lines!!
