Benchmade 100s River rescue (fixed blade) and a Blue 93mm Rescue. Also carry EMT shears most of the time.

It's down for the weekend. They are moving their server.

ATS-55 does not work well in the water since it seems to rust very easily. I use a snap-it (AUS-8 steel) as a backup to my backup when diving and it hasn't rusted yet.

I'm a Federal employee so I have to keep them small to go in my office:

Dragonfly PE in front pocket
Green Jester, leatherman micra, photon light on keychain
Leatheman juice s2 and Dyad Jr in my bag

But in my car:
Endura SE
Blue Rescue 93mm
Leatherman Pulse

ATS-55 rusts way too easily for me. I prefer VG-10 or Aus-8.

I agree with ROM831. Blue loctite works the best. I use it on my rescue, endura, and delica and it really holds the clip on tight.

Eric is the best to deal with. You won't have any problems.

Some radiation info for those interested (from my nuclear engineering background): The glowrings contain tritium. It is a pure beta emitter. Beta paticles cannot even penetrate a layer of dead skin. The danger from Tritium comes from ingestion (swallowing) or absorption of Tritium through the skin. ...

Just got mine in a trade Saturday and used it to cut a belt in a flipped over car this afternoon. Overall a useful knife and cool color. Haven't gotten to play around with the "control tip" yet but it seems like a useful feature. The larger opening hole is a nice touch too. I had it in my ...

They are VG-10 not Gin-1 like it says on the website. I just got mine this week. And I got a Dyad Jr. for the same price.

Can you get an approximate price for one?

Orange Rescue Jr was my first. I still have it and use it often.

I use my Aus-8 Snap-it as a backup dive knife in the ocean. I just rinse it off after every trip. Never had any rust on it. 440A and 440C dive knives also work well. I carried my ATS-55 Rescue jr. once on some water rescue training in brackish (salt/fresh water mix) water and it rusted up by the end...

Just got an email from www.knifeworks.com and they have PE VG-10 Viele's for 59.99 and PE SS Rookie for 39.99 in their clearance section. I would buy one but I just bought a Viele and have a new PS Military on the way.

1. FRN Dragonfly PE
2. Pride (diver flag) PE
3. FRN Endura SE
4. FRN Endura PSE
5. FRN Delica PE
6. Viele PE
7. Rescue Jr.
8. Green Jester PE
9. Military PSE (on the way from Glasshartt)

and a 204 to sharpen all of them

Is the plain edge part of the blade chisel ground? I know on the other combo edge Spyderco's I have the serrated and the plain edge portion are both chisel ground. I am thinking about getting one and I was curious. Thanks.
