Here is one for the group. Yesterday an approaching thunderstorm had everyone in (good) batten down mode or (bad) flight mode. Not a really big deal on the Potomac River. Just let out some more anchor scope, stow everything, and get to shore to ride out the storm. Grabbed my leatherman, knife, light, phone, VHF, etc. Now the fun part, someone elses boat is dragging, and the storm is not even here yet, and fouls on our anchor line. So back into the water to separate the boats. Grabbed my knife and clipped it to my bathing suit. It is a CRKT M16 compact w/ combo blade and tanto point. It is more than sufficient for what I need usually.

Now I did not have to cut the other boat away, but it got me thinking, and this is for the collective knowledge of the group. What would make the best folder for the marine environment. Folder because I normally only have on a pair of shorts. Corrosion resistance vs. edge holding, need a combo blade since this is not strickly a rescue knife, one handed opening, good grip since is is used wet as well as dry.

Regards,
Bill
