Ralph -

I have had my River Shorty for a least 2 years and the only times it has
come out of its sheath was while doing rescues.  On each rescue day it only
came out once, so considering I probably was rescuer/rescuee 30 or more
times each day, that's pretty good.  I have never used it on the shoreline,
but I do take it out and rinse it after every saltwater trip (but it is
still rusting).
