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.
