That's the same knife I have been using for the past 10 years. I got about
10 of them at West Marine (with their logo on the handle) for about $8-9
each. I wish I could find that deal again. $28 is a bit more than I want to
spend for a 'loaner' knife.

As I stated earlier, I try to have a few extra knives onboard for crew
members who "show up" without a knife. I only have my own personal one left
now.. Nothing wrong with it but sooner or later something will happen to
it..

My kids have given me a number of nice knives over the years, but I always
find them to heavy for the pocket or the sheath is a PITA (and other reasons
previously stated).

Someone else mentioned "non-magnetic".. I should then add that these knives
are not always non-magnet, even is they are called "Stainless Steel".. I
have found most all of the components in mine to be attracted to a magnet.

When they're made out of cobalt and titanium, or even ceramic, they're
non-magnetic. Some stainless also is, but it won't hold an edge very long.
