Sharp Buy
I am a seasoned kayaker. SCUBA diver and an all around waterman. I have taken this knife absolutely everywhere since I bought it, and I can not imagine a trip without it. Actually, I bought two. One is mounted on the deck of my expedition kayak and the other goes with me everywhere. The blunt tip is a valuable asset and a real safety minded design. The serrated blade cuts through rope quickly and really holds it's edge. The knife is very lightweight and low profile. The handle is easy to grip, even with gloves on. This is a great knife at a great price.

Great safe knife
On the water, you know you are supposed to have a knife for all those unexpected dangerous situations we have all been taught could occur, but why make things worse with a pointy knife which may have to be used to release yourself from river ropes or tangles. The Shorty has a blunt tip (great flathead screwdriver) but otherwise is sharp, light and "always open". The sheath is easily attached to any PFD and the knife itself is easy to withdraw from the sheath. No fumbling to open as with other folding river knives.

Gerber Shorty
This knife is perfect for kayaking! I am a recreational paddler and this knife covers all of my needs and then some. Get the yellow handle, it is easy to find in case you drop it, I did.
