Another testimonial for the River Shorty: I've had one on the lashing patch of my PFD for about seven years.  Was concerned with pendant (i.e., handle down) mounting of that knife --- which the manufacturer specifically recommended *not* doing when I bought it --- but have not had any problems with it coming loose.  Did add some duct tape to the handle where it engages the teeth in the sheath to add more purchase when I ran it back in, and that did seem to add some resistance.  Good knife.  And, yes, stainless steel rusts --- just has some better resistive powers than other metals.
