I wish it was made in an Alox. It would be easier to keep clean.Victorinox Deluxe Anglerhttp://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Victorinox+Deluxe+Angler(Image removed from quote.)
I brought my wave tonight for a quick hour if bank fishing WORST decision now that I'm used to the OHT. Holding a fish and opening pliers sucks. Not to mention my wave is my "beater" tool. The wire cutters grab, you can't really deploy any inner tools without another pry tool, and my main blade gets harder to deploy as it opens. I'm assuming the post is tightening?

Or even a bit of 3 in 1 oil..
Lanyard that anchor. This is what I do.
So. I took my wave today after filing the wire cutter, and loosening/adjusting the tools. Worked great. But note to self; when wade fishing in salt water DO NOT submersible the tool. Within submersion and driving back to town there is a noticeable difference in rust.

Good thing is when it forms that quickly it is easily removed if you act quickly. This is why I love to buy a beater tool every once in a while. I do not feel bad using it hard or getting it rusty or beat up because it came to me in that condition. That's just me though. Others might not have a problem with using a new tool like that. It is its intended purpose after all. I'm just weird.

SOG makes/made on called the BlackTip. You can still pick them up on Westmarine's website. Seems to be fairly resistant to rust and it has a line cutter. Just don't fall in the water wearing one. This thing is a beast!Cheers,Gadget
