Quick take

A 5-inch folding saltwater knife with a serrated German stainless steel blade and non-slip FRN yellow handle for cutting ropes and filleting.

This folding knife pairs a 5-inch serrated stainless blade with a bright yellow fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle that is easy to spot on a boat deck. A reversible pocket clip suits left- or right-hand carry, and a lanyard hole lets you tether it to a key ring or cord. It suits saltwater anglers who want a compact blade for cutting line, rope and webbing.

Best for

  • Cutting through ropes, seatbelts and tough materials
  • Filleting saltwater fish for the cooler
  • Anglers who need a compact pocket blade

Skip if

  • You need a full-sized fixed-blade fillet knife
  • You prefer straight (non-serrated) edges

Strengths

  • German stainless steel resists corrosion in saltwater
  • Serrated edge cuts through tough materials without snagging
  • Reversible pocket clip and lanyard hole provide multiple carry options

Trade-offs

  • Folding mechanism creates a pivot point that can loosen with hard use
  • Serrated edge dulls faster than straight edge and is harder to sharpen
  • 5-inch blade is short for large fish filleting
