The only knives I have now other than the described Tekna are 1) UK Remora,
and 2) a tiny Oceanic knife that looks just like the Zeagle Ranger (?). Both
are 316 SS. Personally, I think the UK Remora is indestructible. You could
mount it 3 different ways: on the inflator hose, on the SPG hose or on the
webbing (or BCD). I have mine for 4 years, hardly done anything to it
besides casual rinsing - no rust. Anyway, these are too big for the Goodman
handle...

Anybody have any experience using Spiderco knives in saltwater ? 

The Spiderco Ladybug / Ladybutterfly (?) model is small enough to fit in the
handle well, and could be open easily with one hand.
