Wenoka makes a titanium knife

For kayaking?

For any paddling. However, in trying to find a useful link for you, I found a
couple of sites that specifically point out a couple of problems with this
knife - the blade is quite thin and is not suitable for prying. That could be an
issue with some rescue uses. Plus the tanto tip is not as safe as a
straight-across blunt tip.

Well then it sounds like I better stick with the Gerber
river knife made of steel then huh?

That's what I've been using for a decade now. Just rinse it off after it's
been in sal****er. The only problem with that knife is the sheath looses
grip on the knife after a while if you keep removing and replacing the knife.
I don't use the knife for anything, since I want it sharp and mostly paddle in
fresh water, so it holds the knife in the sheath just fine.

There is a nice McNett blunt-tip, stainless steel knife out now too. The sheath
on that one has a lock.

Sounds like Gerber model is good enough

Got to make it to REI this weekend
