We can consider it, but usually people buying diving or "boat" knives want them to be very inexpensive on the theory that they might lose it. Quality performance knives cost more to build and are generally more expensive to purchase. We've not done well with them enough to maintain inventory.

We have a model in-the-works that was designed by a kayak fisherman, but it has a point. When I'm in or near water (canoe, kayak, sail, snorkel) I carry a Salt but I like a point. I can do things with a point on a knife that I cannot easily do without one.

Remember the thread where Lance used a very pointed modified Jumpmaster 1 (I think) in his kayak? Did that influence the design of the Jumpmaster 2 or Aqua Salt? Or maybe what Sal is talking about?
K-390 on hand: Mule Team 17, Police 4 G-10, Endela (burlap micarta), Endela backup, Endura (canvas micarta), Straight Stretch (now blade-swapped with G-10 Stretch), Delica Wharncliffe, Dragonfly Wharncliffe, & Dragonfly Wharncliffe shorty mod
Note to self: Less is more.

I suppose it must be so. Whatever it is, H1 or LC200N and pointy fixed blade in whatever configuration just does it for me. It's just that nice and good for my uses and preferences :rolleyes:

Any hints on what the new steel will be for the Seki (L-M-D-D-S-E) family?? I want to eventually pick up a Dragonfly but don't want to miss out on a new steel if there is an option coming up soon!!!

From over on BF regarding the FRN PM2 LW....

Wow! FRN PM2 would be awesome. Wonder if they could keep the compression lock or have to change it.
