I'm one of those obnoxious Spyderco guys. But got turned on to them when I was in the service, and haven't looked back since. Except for the SOG multitool I carried. Unfortunately, I lost that off the coast of "Who Knows Where" doing "Who knows what"
The Winkler Contingency is my EDC and probably my favorite knife I have purchased since Watsons mini bowie.
Id vote for this: https://www.monkeyedge.com/Winkler-K...-p/wkk0003.htm - corrosion shouldnt be too much of an issue. My Contingency only has signs of rust on the sheath screws / clip.
Esse, Fallkniven, and Bark River are other solid options- Ive been eyeing this but cant justify it yet given my ammo purchasing focus: https://www.knifecenter.com/series/b...-santos-series
take care-

I will second this recommendation. You can also order a molle back with it to attach to the sheath. Plus it's really nice looking and 440C will be good against rust. Here are some better pictures of it. https://knifeworks.com/esee-4-4pss-0...-black-sheath/
I have an ESEE Izula in 1095 that, even in dry Colorado air, rusts on a regular basis if I don't keep it oiled at all times. Handy knife, but frustrating.
I am an ESEE fan and have a couple of their knives. I went with a Spyderco salt but my knife collection is continuously growing so I might add some of the other selections too. Thanks for all the inputs!

Whatever you go with, don't over look a good sheath when it comes to daily carry of a fixed blade. It's like getting a good holster for your sidearm. I'm a fan of the aforementioned horizontal sheath. Your work may not be bothered by you having a fixed blade, but sometimes a place you stop along the way to or from might not be so accommodating... I have a fixed blade on me every day. Sometimes just a small old long discontinued Kershaw Echo. Wonderful little blade I wish they still made.
Sometimes my ZT 0100. Belt loops on that one are from a Bravo Concealment holster.
I found a guy who makes sheathes, and he has done several for me... and one holster. With the horizontal carry they hide well under a T shirt, and you can get to them easily even sitting in your vehicle. I wear them just to the right of my belt buckle. Pull back, stab forward. I can still reach across and access them left handed in a reverse grip.

Never mind....'fixed blade' went over my head.
