I worked in a hatchery in Alaska years ago. We had a small siener that worked with us and every one on the crew had a spiderco knife clipped to thier slickers in case they fell in to the net or lines. The blades were dull at the tip and had a wicked seration on the blade. These knives are designed to cut rope, rigging, and webbing. I've seen police and EMS personel carrying these to cut through seat belts. Good tools. Mike

Sounds like the crew was carrying Spyderco UK Rescue blades. Nice Knife but I want a sharp tip so I can cut fish. One thing I like about that knife for a kayak though is since it does not have lock so you can close it one handed. Jim |

The knife looks pretty good, you can use it in case a white shark tries to take a bite out of your kayak.

This coming from a Guide.LOL! I guess you're a good swimmer I know where you coming from, but I never knock the over prepared kayak fisherman because I know it will come back and bite me in the ass. Nice Video Jim. I think that same knife saved Rob Sanford's life when his Defiance Boat capsized on a wave coming into the MB Channel. His automatic floatation PFD had him trap in the pilot house and if he didn't have a knife on him, he would have died. Thanks for sharing. Moyer Last edited by DESTROYER; 01-08-2011 at 10:58 AM. |

Kind of what I was thinking Matt, is it really a good idea to give people a hard time about wanting to be safe. Particularly when you are in a position of people trying to follow your example.
For the record I normally have a knife on board but not on my PFD. On my PFD I usually keep a hook knife. They are great for quickly cutting line and you never have to worry about getting stuck or cutting your PFD. This is the one I have from Benchmade. I see they now have some new ones that I may have to take a look at that may be better for the kayak. http://www.benchmade.com/products/8

being oversafe(on a kayak) can also become an issue. I always carry a straight edge near me on the kayak. Boats are very different, the more knifes the better in case of emergency. Never on the boat without a knife on me. Rescue hooks by benchmade are a must also. You can never be too safe on a boat.

How much do you want for that dog? I always wear a dive knife on my leg. I put a loop on it for my wrist just in case. They will sink if you drop them and I experimented with closed cell foam but I could not get it boyant enough to not sink. I am going to try the camera floats next. That is a great looking vest though. You look like a navy seal

Wouldn't sell her. Funny how she always seems to make an appearance in any video I make. I just wish she did not get seasick so I could still take her offshore.
Big but just a sweet as can be. Scares the hell out of the neighbors but loves cats and toys. She collects the latter and keeps them in her dog bowl. I really love that dog, best Dog I've ever owned. Jim |

I like the 9 CB carabiner. Has a blade cover, carabiner clip, AND a bottle opener. Those are great tools and have used them to rip seat belts, web gear and clothing off with ease. Great yak application.

The spyderco logo/mascot looks more like a tick or a chigger...
