Best Spydie for kayaking and canoeing...
I have a couple of Caribbeans that are both serrated. Does anyone use anything smaller (i. e. Native salt), for general purpose canoeing. Freshwater only.
Re: Best Spydie for kayaking and canoeing...
I carry my SE Pacific Salt when I kayak.
Re: Best Spydie for kayaking and canoeing...
For kayaking, I will usually just carry a SE Salt 1 clipped in waist band.
I actually spoke to someone at Spyderco last time I was there who mentioned keeping a Snap-It Salt hung onto the front of his PFD while kayaking. Sounded like a good idea to me.

I keep an Atlantic salt se on my pfd and often a Salt 2 se in my pocket. I never use the Atlantic, it's there for emergencies only.
Just bought a Native Salt PE and it will probably replace or compliment the Salt 2.

Enuff Salt gets my vote, too.

I would most definitely want a nitrogen based blade steel like something out of the H-1 Salt Series. A TUSK model would make sense for that type of activity. And it has a nitrogen based blade steel LC200N.
I'm still holding out hope for a Salt Series Dyad, double bladed model.

I always carry a G-2 Harpy clipped to my vest.

Canoeing and kayaking in fresh water (all I do) I carry a native salt PE and usually a dragonfly salt PE. Hoping to add a SE salt at some point, too.

Salt water paddle board for me. Mine’s inflatable and after patching that hole, decided inflatables and knives don’t mix. :D
Re: Best Spydie for kayaking and canoeing...
I never really did white water kayaking, just "sea"-kayaking on lakes.
Honestly, like in any other fresh- (as opposed to salt-) water scenarios, I never had rust problems on VG10 blades whatsoever. So I just carried an Endura 4 or my CE Delica. Now that I have an SE Endela, I guess that will become my kayaking knife.

Re: Best Spydie for kayaking and canoeing...
if i was going to keep a knife on a pfd for emergencies, it would probably be the assist salt or the sheepsfoot enuff. then i’d also have something else in my waistband... probably a pe native salt since my emergency knife is already a se sheepsfoot.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Haven't used them this way yet but I plan on clipping a Spyderhawk to pfd and my Tusk at my waist in the future

Could anyone please explain to me what "pfd" stands for?
