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.

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
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?twinboysdad wrote:I bet Lance knows somethingThePeacent wrote:anybody knew about this? :eek:

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
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:DougC-3 wrote:Remember the thread where Lance used a very pointed modified Jumpmaster 1 (I think) in his kayak?

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.
