Is it legal to keep a knife on the kayak for stuff like this?

Before you go swinging a knife at a seal you better know what you're getting into. If you don't kill it first shot you could be asking for trouble. These things are master swimmers in the water, if you fall in what's to say the Sea lion isn't going to come back and take a bite out of you. Along with that if anyone sees you doing so you could be in even hotter water. Do what you can to urge them along and avoid battling with them.

I take a knife with me all the time. I don't know any fisherman that doesn't carry a knife.

Always carry one in my kayak also.

A knife is a essential safety tool for any fisherman or a kayaker. What happens if you flip in the kelp and get tangled up in some kelp below the water without a knife, or a mishap with spectra or rope. I carry a knife for safety reasons and I would encourage everyone else to also, especially while hoop netting

YES it is legal to carry a knife on a kayak..... ...... What you do with it is your decision. Better yet, why wouldn't you carry your knife?
