Wife says get knife! Need suggestions!

David Mary here on BF will make you what you want and does some gnarly good serrated blades. Great maker to work with.

Yep, his serrations will make very short work out of any cord or rope

 

[DocJD]

I would also highly recommend David Mary Customs , David Mary .

His serrations are IMO the best , especially for ease of sharpening .

But , if you want something off the shelf and immediately , most any SE Spyderco Salt type , would work fine .

 

[David Mary]

Sounds Russian, definitely suspect for delivery timeline. Quality of product however is beyond reproach

This is one from a batch of MagnaCut with Grip-Tec™ scales, heading out to Empire Outfitters via Canada Post later today. I finished them Saturday night. It's got no name yet, other than that it is from my "EDC Universal 2" blank, which I had a half dozen cut in 1/8" MagnaCut, with a rectangularish blade shape that I can make into whatever shape is needed. I still have a few left unclaimed.

It would be a simple matter to make one with a blunt tip, lanyard hole, bright handle material and serrations. If interested D DBCajun , please shoot me an email introducing yourself, and I'd be happy to discuss making your all purpose porpoise protector.

I know you probably want something fancy, but seriously marakniv makes a serrated stainless floating knife that would be perfect. Blunt tip. Nice functional scabbards.

In my spearfishing club many of us carry a floating orange handle knife in the boats which is very cheap and it is meant for salt water use.

It is the "1446-FLOAT BAHCO". Blunt tip, fully serrated. Do not expect it to behave like Magnacut, though.

I wish they’d make this style in one of the steels like H2, magnacut, etc.

 

[Delgadonine]

Order two.

It was a typo, you explain.

Wow. Nice work. I’ll certainly keep this option in mind.

 

[DBCajun]

Forget any folder, in this case you want an easily accessible fixed blade. Someone already mentioned the morakniv but I know that's not nearly sexy enough with the current carte blanche you have. I'm going to suggest the crkt bear claw or the walker knife company guardian river knife.

I like those river knives. Great suggestion.

Rick, how’s the edge on those floating Moras?

 

[Mannlicher]

Look at the Spyderco Autonomy 2 automatic. The steel is LC200N, which is very rust resistant.

i don't know. Never had the need for one and I'm not much for serrated edges.... But morakniv is always on point with the edge as far as I've seen. If I need my knife to float here, there is a serious problem! Lol. I've seen the crick come up pretty high but not this high.

If you want a lifelong knife I agree with the others to go with a small time maker.

Moras are use hard and replace often kinda things. I love mine and use it as a winter salt bag knife. It was crusted with snowmelt for a couple months, rinsed it off occasionally and it still looks great.

 

[tatsu]

Jumpmaster 2 with a bright lanyard tied on so it's easier to spot, (if needed).

I might get one just because at that price. Can’t go wrong.

 

[The Hawk]

Another vote for Mora. Mine arrived crazy sharp. I would stay with a sheath knife rather than a folder for your needs.

 

[pvicenzi]

Your wife said get a knife? That is a sure sign of a keeper!!!

 

[Boattale]

I bought a serrated orange mora to zip tie to the bow of my boat in case a line needs to be cut right now. Perfect for that purpose. Their sheaths are as good as their knives too - positive retention but still immediate access if you need to hurry. I wouldn't consider anything else other than a custom. And I'd have a mora to hold me over until the custom comes - and as a backup afterwards.

 

[Delgadonine]

A carry option to consider is a fixed blade neck knife. Easy to deploy and resheath. Difficult to lose.
