Salt/Surf fishing knife suggestions

I'd go with the inexpensive stainless Mora. Knives, sunglasses and hats always seem to dissapear overboard around me.
 
OP here - thanks to all for some good advice. The Spydercos looked very solid, but not the blade shape I wanted. However, I researched and then found a Spyderco Aqua Salt on eBay, and will use that.

However, I still think this is an excellent reason to try another knife or two... :D

The Ka-Bar 'Hunter' is another I'm considering, and the Mora TopQ or Buck 221 Silver Creek might end up as a present to my brother-in-law for starting all this fishing trouble in the first place.

Thanks again ! :)
 
I use a handmade damascus steel knife for saltwater because that is what I have and I wanted to test it. At the end of a days fishing, being used multiple times to cut bait, it would have some surface rust on it. I would take it home, wash it in the sink, then put a light coat of oil on it. That is all it took to clean it up and have it ready for next time. SO.... if you find a knife that you like that isn't a "salt water" knife, you can still make it work, just a little extra cleanup, that only takes a minute or two.

I left it one time in the sheath for a few days without washing it after fishing, and it just took a little buffing with steel wool to clean it up like new again.

good luck with it. i bought an aqua salt to use for 1/2 day boat trips (when the weather gets nicer). i don't own any other knives in H1 and i plan on using it forever.

p.s. good thing you got an aqua salt now, they will be harder to find down the road because they're discontinued.
