How well would a Manix 2 LW in BD1N resist corrosion in saltwater?

I'm thinking of using a Manix 2 LW in BD1N in saltwater, it would mostly be swimming type activity where I don't want to leave the knife on the beach. Was especially wondering how the lock mechanism would resist rusting. It seems like an area that might have a lot of areas subject to rusting and be hard to rinse/clean/dry out completely enough to prevent rusting

Here's how the steel would fair. The lock mechanism I wouldn't know

Thanks!

Anyone have any info or direct experience with how the CBBL holds up? I was pretty sure the blade would be fine with just a wipe down with a clean cloth and a rinse off in tap water and dry off at the end of the day as other knives I've used this way, in VG10 for instance, have been, but was wondering about all the nooks and crannies that would seem hard to clean out in the CBBL.
Any info would be appreciated.

not a direct comparison, but i had a friend that forgot his manix xl in his waistband and took it in the ocean in hawaii. he then let it rust for about two weeks before i stole it from him to clean it. i was surprised at how well it held up and how easily it cleaned up after such abuse. pretty much everything was fine except the liners. they were permanently stained, but everything else basically wiped clean. i don't remember any issues with the bearing or spring in the lock.

still, if i wanted a manix in the ocean, id go with the magnacut salt version. it's there now, why not use it?

Thanks for the info. The reason I'm not going with a Salt version is I have a Manix 2 LW and would be ok with using it as long as the lock mechanism won't be problematic. As I said previously the lock mechanism is really all I'm wondering about as I've used other knives that weren't Salt's in the same way I'd like to use this and had no problems just rinsing and wiping it down the end of day or next day.
Believe me I'm not trying to cheap out, I buy more than my share of knives, lol. Just don't see a need to buy a Salt if this will do.
