I bought the Calcutta's at West Marine. No corrosion problem other then the leash, not a biggy, but after cutting 30-50lb mono/flouro over a week it loosened up and the cutters never lined up after that. Too much play. Poor design. Wasn't interested in tightening screws or nuts, new for a week. Instead of one hand cutting, it turned into two hand cutting just to line the cutters up. Brought back to West Marine for my 110 dollars back. Found a better value in the X Tools Floating Pliers for 14 bucks that cuts braid and mono, so far holding up with no rust or serious wear and didn't break the bank.
