H1 is supposed to be chemically impervious to corrosion from salt. Metal other than the blade may or may not rust a little.

I would worry more about losing it, getting salt/sand/mud in the pivot, etc. Just rinse it out with clear water and you should be fine.

The Dragonfly Salt is a great little knife, I carry one with me every day.

I went swimming for the first time in probably years the other day...and I had the Saver Salt in my pocket the whole time. Still hasn't seen a spec of rust....not that I doubted it in the least. You really can't go wrong with a Salt!

I am in the water most weekends during the summer in a lake and I have skied, tubed, and swam with a salt I clipped in my pocket and don't dry it out at all and it is still 100% rust free. I ordered a backup salt 1 and a dragonfly salt a few days ago just so I have some options.

Delica and Endura are great knives! They're the low priced crack samples that'll get you hooked on spyderco! Feed the need!

Just had my Dragonfly Salt come in the mail today. No tests yet. Going fishing next Tuesday and I am going to do everything I can to get this thing as grimy and wet as possible. Then I am going to put it into my plastic Plano tackle box and let it sit on my dash in the sun. Leave it for a few days and see if it did any damage.

My Caspian Salt has over a hundred dives on it in salt and fresh water...I have never rinsed it unless it accidentally got rinsed with my other gear. Good as new. Buy a Salt. You'll love it.

Its working well for me so far. I would say that a straight edge may serve my purposes of cutting fishing line better. The serrations are ok, but a plain edge would be quicker and cleaner.
