Need recommendations on Knife to be used in SALTWATER

[Young_Gun]

I recently started inshore fishing out of a kayak and am looking for a knife.
Im looking for a knife to cut fishing line, rope,etc:

Inexpensive (less than $40)
Does not rust with saltwater
Around 5-8" overall lenght
Sharp, serrated if possible.
Either folder, or fixed (with a sheath)

Let me know if you can help

I use a cliphanger, might rust but as long as you take care of it, you won't have that problem. Just like a boat, you have to clean it off afterwards.

PM inbound, I have used this knife since the late 80's when I was under the age of 10

Ive recomended it several times before, and will continue to recomend it. Ive used it for 4x4ing, work, fishing (atlantic ocean) for just about everything. SOG Seal Pup. A little more than you posted to spend, but not by much at all.

Hmmm, I've been also using the SOG keychain knife for fishing. But that's in my big boat, not worried about losing my keys over the side.

spyderco SALT series

This.....or like stated before, any other knife that you wash the saltwater off of afterwards. Even the salt series will corrode if not washed off.

Is there a half serrated model of the salt?

Look at some dive knifes. I have a fixed blade blunt tip, it has a hard plastic sheath and rubber leg straps that conviently fit my fire extinguisher.

Wow I just wrote knifes

Salt is a series of knives by spyderco. there are many options to choose from. The one thing that they all have in common is that they all use spyderco's H1 steel which is supposedly rustproof. I am picking one up friday for a friend from knifeworks.

My first thought is a dive knife that you could strap to your calf for easy access. Here's a cheap one made by S&W link

Ballistol does wonders at cleaning a knife after corrosion sets in. I have been going out kayak fishing a lot lately and have used it to clean mine and my friends knives after coming back and forgetting to rinse the salt off.

Disco, where do you yak in these parts?

FYI NO STEEL IS 100% RUSTPROOF!!! Some are close to it but any steel has the ability to rust if abused right lol. Now treat a knife like a gun and clean after use and most stainless metals will last foever and for that matter most carbon steels too if taken care of.
