Best knife ever!!! I used it three times today. I've got a bad habit of taking it off the vest every time I need to carry a good knife which means I should probably bite the bullet and buy a few more.

This threads not near is good without the original knife thread that spawned it but the vid still cracks me up every time I see it.

I always keep a well sharpened fillet knife firmly ducttaped to my left hand at all times and large serated blade well within reach of my right hand incase my left hand gets caught in the kelp. At which point I'll then begin to cut away at the left arm. It hasn't had to come to that yet (thank god) but you never know.

good video jim thanks for the info. I jest but a good reliable blade is a must have.

Good stuff man. Its interesting to hear that many long term kayakers dont see a need for the knife. Im just wondering how many remember the incident in Malibu where Tommy got the Rappala stuck in his chin by having some other guy drag his trolled lure over the kayak. If something like that happens, or god forbid, a T gets you wrapped in your own 65lb spectra its nice to have. I've had one in my vest since the beggining, the only thing I would say is a small lanyard would be a good idea so it does not get fumbled in a panic. I picked some up at West Marine years ago really light coiled things that stretch out about 4 feet and would be easy enough to break in a panic and yet strong enough to keep the knife within reach if your dragged off the kayak.
