I want a fixed blade for surf fishing. I have narrowed it down to these 2. The Spyderco Aqua Salt using H1 steel or the Benchmade 100SH20 using X15 TN steel. Both companies have excellent reputations.
Benchmade changed from H1 to the new steel, maybe to be different from Spyderco, because it has better qualities or its just plain cheaper to use in manufacturing?
Your thoughts about these knives regarding rust resistance, edge holding, comfort in the hand, ease of sharpening, serrated edge cutting, sheath design etc will help me make my decision.
