My DS took the yellow Atlantic Salt out to sea - a bit more expensive he said it was the best knife he could have taken - in rough seas you can find it and it's blunt nose will not stab you if you slip or drop it; best of all he said it would absolutely cut through anything especially think rope.
Remember, the Colorado Parents Association sells these knives. They have a special deal with the manufacturer to sell them at cost. The price is excellent and you support a Parents Association that does good things for the mids.
