Kayak fishing is as dangerous as you make it, I guess .

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.

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.

I was trying to find those earlier but was thinking spyderco and not benchmade. We use these at work, and they cut thru anything.

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.

Call me old fashioned but for some things I still do like the hands on approach

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

I should of bought three of them or more as I can't find them under $26 now.

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.
