I was thinking of getting a spyderco with H1 steel for whenever I am going to be near water. A quick question is the steel completely rust proof?
 
A good fillet knife should be flat ground, H1 can't be flat ground in high production numbers.
 
Yes....but I would prefer if Spyderco came out with a chef set in H1, similar to the ESEE/Becker Kitchen Knife set; now that would be the bee's knees.

Aren't the Spyderco yellow Dragonfly's in H1 flat ground?

I believe they are hollow ground.

A good, cheap filet knife is the Forschner Breaking knife. I like the 8" for fish in the 6" to 60" range. Very good corrosion resistance, not rust-proof like H1 though.

The USN Catcherman (H1) is the closest that I've seen to a classic filet knife. I have one and it's with me whenever I go fishing or hunting.

I wish they made like a manix with h1 or a h1 steel blade with a compression lock. And how is the edge retention and how sharp can you get h1?

Oh yeah, I believe you are right. Thanks for the correction! :)
 
Curious, why can H-1 not be flat ground?

EDIT: Does it have something to do with the fact that it is cold rolled without a heat treat?

Yes not rust resistant, actually rust proof, ie it will not rust, trust me I wade/swim with it in salt water with no rinsing afterward...never a spec of rust truly amazing
 
They just announced on their forums today a new addition to the Salt line, the fixed blade Enuff Salt sheepsfoot in H1.

I'll take a thin fixed blade fillet knife in what ever grind it has to be in as long as its in h1. Many of cleaning stations on the docks could use that!!
