Benchmade H2O

[Redleg06]

Anyone have any experience with the Benchmade H2O River Rescue knife? I'm looking for one to attach to PFD when sea kayaking. I'm looking for a quality blade that will be resistant to salt water.

That's the one that you are looking for. The H1 steel of the Benchmade 100SH20 LOVES salt water, and you can get it with either a black or bright yellow handle! Also, it comes in a nice "plastic" sheath.

We have them on our inshore rescue boats. They have held up well so far to an environment that is very tough on steel.
I have noticed a rusty smudge around one of the screws that holds the scales on.
I'm not sure if these screws are made of H1 too....

I like it, but the yellow handle one is hard to find - it's often out of stock. The thumb file work teeth
are too sharp.

I've been looking at picking one of these up for a dive knife.

Thanks for all the replies. I found a yellow handled one, here in San Antonio, but full price. I also found a web site with them for $58. Now to see if they have any in stock.

Thanks again.
