So, prefer a blade that is made of titanium, cobalt, and stainless steel; materials with high corrosion-resistance capabilities. Yes. It cuts rope really well. Someday I’ll be on the lake in my golden yacht and find myself caught somehow in a spider web of ropes and pulleys in the middle of a storm and be really happy I have this knife created specifically to cut and untie ropes… The knife should either come with a sheath or be foldable and come with a lanyard or carrying loop. It must be easy to store so that you can keep it with yourself at all times. You know when you read a knife review and they say something stupid like “this is the sharpest knife I’ve ever owned!”?

Camillus does make a similar knife that’s 7.5 inches, but the blade is thinner and has wood handles. I just don’t like the look as much overall. I got this knife because it’s wide and compact, and I like things with G10 scales and VG-10 steel. So I’ll just have to put up with this thing as it is.
