What is blade thickness? Should it not have a blunt tip for water activities? I like the shape, but it seems like it is more of a camp knife than a dedicated water sport knife.
Spyderco states that it is a tactical blade with H1 steel for "operators" at sea.
Here is a video from spyderco at shot show that explains the knife... http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=spyderco+aqua+salt+review&FORM=VIRE3#view=detail&mid=2AF7F8889E25CE9BDD832AF7F8889E25CE9BDD83

painkillerIt's not necessarily a dive knife so much as it is a wet use capable knife.
What bothers me is in that video, he says the knife edge is soft out of the box(poor edge retention) until it gets work hardened through sharpening. Shouldn't their manufacturing process include a step in edge sharpening/forming that works hardens the blade before making it consumer available? This is like selling an unfinished product.
