Good knife to cut ropes

I'm looking to get a good knife for cutting sucked up ropes, I've seen a few folks post a link to a curved bladed knife, I believe that knife is now out of stock?

Anyway, how about this, it's a rigging knife, supposed to cut rope well

If not that, any links to a knife that is actually in stock?
i Keep this onboard from HD. (Harnour freight has something similar also)

 
I keep a couple $1 serrated folding knives from WalMart in my boat. Super cheap and super sharp. Totally wasted after a single use, but they're only $1
 
I keep a few in the emergency kit, but luckily have never had to use them. I have a filet knife, a folding utility razor, and a razor letter opener/seatbelt cutter.

I carry a SOG for daily use, but use basic Exacto razor blade knives for this kind of work - very sharp for weeds or ropes and cheap easy to replace blades. I keep a lanyard on it so I can't lose it in the water.
