How does this knife hold up in saltwater? 99% of my paddling is in the ocean and i've gone through more knives than I have gone through some of my terminal tackle. Would you recommend this for ocean use?

Your best bet is to get a knife with H1 stainless steel, they are made for use in salt water. I know spyderco sells knifes with H1, as do many other companies.

Should handle just fine as it is made of stainless steel. The key thing is to rinse the knife with fresh water after each time in salt water or rust stains will develop. Any river knife is suitable for the sea so long as you take care of it in the way I just mentioned.
