Does anyone make one of these with all the parts in stainless?  I paddle and
ski with one in my first aid kit, but replace it every few years due to
severe rusting of the release mechanism.  The blade rust is no big problem
-- I just sand it down.  The problem is that the release mechanism for the
folding blade rusts and jams up.

Why?  Because it can saw through a kayak or canoe.  And because
it's cheap enough (under $15) that even if I only use it once,
it's worth the cost and the effort to lug it around for years.
