Rusty Z-knife

TobyFish · September 8th, 2006, 07:35 PM

I have a cold-water line-cutter. It's a lumb brothers Piranha, but it looks just like a DiveRite cold water z-knife.

My problem is that the supplied blade rusted in a few weeks.

Before I replace it, (standard utility or "Stanley" blade) can anyone suggest a brand that resists corrosion?

if it was me I might go to tesco and spend 48pence on a knife made of stainless steel.

I have a real Dive Rite line cutter which is about 15years old. The rivet is rusty but the blade is fine (OK, a little pock marked) and still as sharp as it always was. It sounds different from the Lumb Bros version as the blade is much smaller than a Stanley blade.
