Looks like a good deal on a good safety knife
Not sure it can deal with salt water immersion. Anyone have experience with it?
No experience with that knife, but even $60 seems pricey for what I would expect a beach cat sailor would use it for. I'd more likely buy a cheap $10 knife and view it as essentially disposable.
Same money. better choice:

Great link!
salt water doesn't rust or stain it?
I have had mine fully immersed in saltwater many times with no staining or rusting of any part of the multi-tool. I got the sexy carbon fiber upgrade for Christmas one year and it failed in just a few months. The stainless version is bulletproof.

That looks more like a multitool than a safety knife, safety knife should work with one hand ideally, is it posible?. I got this one and it seems reliable. Too early to speak about corrosion. I have it in my pfd pocket with a lanyard.

That multi tool does have 1 hand blade access
Shows it to 2x in the video
Looks pretty good
I am tempted

My SS leatherman tools have certainly rusted when exposed to salt water. Useable but they will rust IMO.
As an alternative, I picked 2 ozark trail multitools from Walmart for my fishing bag. The knife will need sharpening and I have no delusions of longevity. However, I picked them up for about $3 a piece, so if I get more than a season for each, I’m happy. I do keep them dry, so I wouldn’t recommend this for in a pfd or on the boat where it is regularly damp.
Good call Philip
being attached to my boat (et al), under water with no way to get unattached is not how i want to go out
if you wear a hook ... this seems like a good tool
