I absolutely love this knife:

+1 on the NRS pilot knife.

I've been happy with this one. Pretty cheap on ebay too.

I have one of those as well.  It's a good knife.  Balance, in-hand feel, ease of use and corrossion resistance is better on the NRS though.

I have on of these.  I like it because you squeeze the knife not the sheath to remove it from the sheath.

I have the same one as ndogg and it seems to to be pretty bullet proof. 

I have mine clipped to the knife clip thing on the PFD and every time I pull it out I cannot help but think how close it is to my neck though.

Does anyone have any alternate locations to clip their knife?

+1 on the Gerber Rivermate. I love mine.  Works great for cutting gills too.  Last year I used it to plug cut herring and it worked great.  This year I bought a bait knife.  Hmmm...this year I have caught no salmon.  Maybe I need to go back to cutting herring with the Gerber.


Although, it appears to be discontinued.

My Gerber rusted up pretty quick, even without saltwater use. Still cuts just fine and as mentioned earlier, cuts gills well, it just looks ugly. I have a Wenoka that sits in the pocket of my PFD as back up--the clip on that one broke pretty much immediately.

I have this one and like it a lot.  No squeeze to pull out, it's just stuck in the sheath with friction.  Seems to be holding up well:

I also have the same one that Lee has, but it seems to be rusting quicker.  It's my backup knife.

This Bear Claw knife is a favorite with the whitewater guys. You really need to look for one without a sharp point that can mess you up in the panic of an emergency.



This thing can cut rope no problem.

But can it cut bait?

Here is my choice. I am a diver so I prefer to have the blunt tip. (also, I can be a bit clumsy ) This knife holds up great to the salt, and cuts and guts beautifully!

I've wasted too much on gerber river mates. Now I just use cheap bait knives and consider them disposible.    Rapala makes a good one, tho I think it is private labeled as I've seen it generic as well. You can get 5 for the cost of one rivermate. If the tip is an issue, I suppose you could file it down. I mean, what could go wrong, filing down the tip of a razor sharp knife?

Bill has the most awesome lightweight titanium dive knife. Not a spot of rust. My Gerber rivermate is rusty but still usable. My next knife will be some alternative metal that doesn't rust.

Rory, so just put the knife between your knees and grind the tip of with a power grinder?
