What next?

Hey man I live on the coast and fish saltwater just about every weekend. The only knife I'll take with me is a Spyderco Pacific Salt. The materials they use (H1 steel, FRN, titanium clip) have held up to any salt water exposure of food acids I've thrown at it. And it comes in well under your $80 limit. If the Pacifc Salt is too big for your tastes you also check out the Salt I which is just a smaller version.

Of the knives you listed my choice would be the Nagara but check out the Spyderco too.
 
I like the Pacific Salt as it is corrosion proof. But to be honest I have been using SS knives for fishing forever, as long as you clean and oil 'em up (I swear by Corrosion X) with the rest of your fishing gear when you're done, rust is not an issue. That said for 80 bucks I'd buy the now available limited run Kershaw G-10 Tyrade. Great steel for the money.
 
I'd look for a used Emerson, just my thoughts.
