Not a "pocket knife", but I would be really upset if I lost it!
If this is what he primarily needs one for, the folding box cutter is a good choice as Salt + damp isn't good for any knife, even SS.
I'd bet you could get one with a clip AND a place for a lanyard...![]()
I have been collecting antique knives for decades now, mainly folders and military. Just wanted everyone to know there are actually 3 different era's of Winchester knives. After WWI Winchester bought out a few older knife manufactuers and produced knives in their gun factory till WWII. These are VERY high quality and expensive. Then @20 years ago Winchester prostituted itself and started selling its name to the highest bidder. For a limited time Gerber produced some knives with Winchesters name. Now these are Chinese imports and from what I have seen, poor to fair quality, depending on which model you purchase. The knife the OP is talking about appears to be of higher quality.
Nice to here some info about winchester. The knife I was talking about is like this one:

I stop buy walmart today and could not decide which knife I liked better so I bought them both. Walmart near me did not have the knife you have posted but they did have the knives I have. The Winchester cost $14.00 and the Kershaw cost $10.00. They are both very sharp but the Kershaw has a nicer edge and is sharper. Both kinves have solid locks and a solid feel. The Winchester opens smoother than the Kersaw. Both knifes are made in China. I would recomend both knives but I like the Kersaw better of the two. The blade on my Winchester is the same on the knife you posted but mine has aluminum scales, stronger, and a black blade. The pocket clip on both knives are strong so you will not lose your knife. The Winchester is a "PARFIVE". The KERSHAW IS A "CROWN 3160". One more note: I noticed that Walmart had a Kersaw Blurr with the assited opening like mine for $39.00.
This is a decent knife. Light, holds an edge pretty good, and best of all, easy to see if you drop it in the snow.The serratted blade is a nice touch and will come in handy when you need a kinfe out in the cold. I'd go for it. I might get one myself. In fact I will get one tomorrow.
