Going to the Bahamas, what to take?

[mlawson]

My spyderco delica is coming as well as my emerson combat commander and maybe my Spyderco military. My becker necker is a must for food prep and for when i will no pockets, the coating makes it an easy keeper, all i have to oil is the very edge. I need a dive knife though. Under $150 w/ a sheath that will stay on my leg as i swim. Im going to be living on a 41 foot sailboat for 7 days so, needless to say, these knives will see punishment by both me and the elements. I would love to take a bit larger fixed blade as well if anyone has any suggestions. thanks for the input.

I suggest specialized knives for the expected tasks, keeping in mind there isn't a lot of space on saleboat for extras. I'd want:
- 8" chef's knife
- paring knife
- dive knife
- fillet knife

Have a fun trip!

The boat is going to have cooking knives on board.... i usualy have my becker necker w/ me cause i dont like them (the cooking knives). Does anyone have a brand preference for dive knives?
