This is getting pretty close to hijacking this thread, maybe we should have a "water knife" thread...

However, like fooman said, the original Benchmade 100H2O is probably still my fave.

And i've had a few water knives... From the Schrade water rat to the CKRT ABC, all the Gerber products, (The Moray, fooman? Showing your age?), all the UK knives, the Tekna(showing my age).
And that's without looking...

Malposa, one thought might be the CKRT ABC knife. With either the orange or yellow handles it looks more like safety equipment than something to be taken away. Change to the black scales at will. The sheath is a friction fit and is infinately adjustable and easy to mount but it is large. If you go this route, and once you have a ideal set up, a drop of blue (low strength) loctite on the chicago bolts wouldn't go amiss.

This topic reminds me of someone recent posting about buying the knife for the sheath. There are so many great knives out there that become next to unusable due to poor sheath design. Having aid that, Doug was bang on when he said that sheaths are costly, design intensive and you aren't going to make everybody happy no matter what.

Apologies to OP for running away with this..

Still have mine . It was and is a pain to sharpen.

Jenks,
Yes on the Moray.
The Tekna is really showing your age. Hahahah

Hrrmm, so to admit knowing what a Tekna is, represents some form of radiocarbon dating?

Doug, pretty much yes...

And i'm pretty sure there is a joke about counting on my finger tips how many fingertips i cut off re-sheathing that knife too, but it's on the tip of my finertip, er tongue...

And yes, my first decent knife was a Benchmark, not Benchmade, so I am dating myself. In fact I bought it a Sidney I Robinson for our fellow Canucks...

Talk about dating yourself...

Well I couldn't help myself, I went for the Benchmade. I finally decided that expecting to lose something wasn't the way to go about buying quality gear. Found one for $71 on ebay, so I saved a couple bucks. I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks for all the input.

I still have a Tekna N cell flashlight. Hahah.

Mal, glad you found your knife.

are we fighting over who has older gear? LOL.
I have both versions of the Tekna CR123 cell flashlights.
One with straight walls, one with the head bigger than the barrel
Talk about cutting edge technology!

What was the N cell version?
