I've seen some old thread but I didn't want to revive them so I'll ask here, does anyone have them and how have they held up in salt water?
I understand the steel in the knife (blade, pin, lock-back) is suppose to be very corrosion resistant but I'm more interested in knowing if it binds up when the salt gets in between the blade/pivot/handle and dries causing difficulty opening and if it can be disassembled for cleaning.
I've been kayaking in salt water and on my last trip decided to take a small SAK. The tight tolerances and riveted design just didn't work. By the end of the trip I needed a coin to open the blade and cleaning it out was a pain as the salt got into all the pivot points/spacers and dried causing binding.
