Knifes on your PFD ?????? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yes, always, its a safety thing. A folding knife in the PFD pocket tied off to a tether shorter than an arms length. By grabbing the back of the blade and extending your arm you can open the knife one handed. And you can't drop it and lose it. Imagine your hand getting wrapped up in the line as big mister T pulls you over the side and underwater. How else are you going to get out of that one?
