Another question since summer is coming up. What would be a good knife for IWB carry (and also general carry) while swimming. I work at a pool as a lifeguard and manager. I cannot carry while guardings. However, with my job comes the privelidge of being able to use the pool facilities with my friends after hours. I would like to have a knife on me in the situation should someone come and crash my party, if you know what I mean. Also would be useful for times at motels if I am traveling and want to swim in the pool there. I am thinking something fairly inexpensive with decent steel (rust resistance more important than ultimate edge holding. I also want it to be fairly compact when folded. I was looking at the Spyderco Delica or Native and Cold Steel El Lobo. I like the design of the native a little more, but think the Delica or El Lobo might be the way to go as it is right at 3" while the Native is 3 1/8". That way it would be legal most everywhere I would go with it. Any other knives I should look into? Any comments about carrying a knife when swimming?
