suggestion

[hagar50]

I am looking for a folder.
Situation - boat (marine) for safety reasons to cut myself free of rope entanglement plus general use.

I am lefty so it needs to be ambidextrous and easy opening as my left hand a bit mucked up.

Local rescue guys prefer spyderco. I like some of the cloumbisa river opening systems though there seems to be some questions about the steel used for their blades.

Would welcome suggestions

Suggestion: The Land and Sea Rescue model from Cold Steel. I had two, let them both get away, and now I miss them.

I would suggest getting something from the Spyderco Salt Series. The blades are made of H1, and will not rust.

Thanks guys you have given me something definite to look at.

I second that.
Even if you weren't going on a boat, for heavy duty work edc, I'm seriously wishing for the salt series too! Perhaps the hawkbill blade maybe a bit safer for your job!

Yup, some of the best folders for the boating arena, the Saver Salts look nice, the Rescue with H1 steel.

Like the posts above I recommend the Salt. I live in tropical northern Australia and spend a lot of time in salt water (fishing and sailing) and have carried a Salt 1 for some time. These things are not rust resistant, they just don't rust. They weigh virtually nothing clipped on a pair of shorts, are ambidextrous, open one handed and take a serious edge.

The salt series sound the way to go - from what people are saying I could also use it as my backup dive knife - I like to carry 2 one on my leg and one one my bcd.
