I am looking at getting a cheap (no more than about £20) knife to have in my buoyancy aid or in my foulies sheath (as on Musto MPX salopettes) when dinghy or yacht sailing. I want a sheath knife, and am looking at something like a diving knife, as they are blunt tipped (which I think I want) and don't seem to corrode that much. Does anyone have any ideas as to the best knife- it doesn't have to be a diving knife, all kinds considered!

Apologies if this is posted on the wrong forum, but I couldn't see where else to out it!

Many thanks in advance to all suggestions.

Try the thread on Useless Safety Knives in Development.

As well as pointing out some bad ones, there are also some suggestions for good ones.

Thanks - very interesting! However, this still doesn't suggest many types of knifes like I'm looking for!
