    Great kayak knife, brilliant sheath release feature

    Great little knife, perfect for attaching to your PFD patch. Could be sharper out of the box

    Functionality, Durability & Adhesive Quality

    Used this on several white water & kayak adventures. Supported release of hung up trout by local fisherman (who cut the line & trail), adhered to the jacket during unexpected rescue situation in tight space and took a beating when used to release shoes from a rock and rushing water. Worth every penny for those trips.

    Great Knife

    This is the knife that stays on my Professional Rescue PFD. It has a BIG profile, which may not be awesome on a small kayaking PFD, but I LOVE it for my application. I'm usually wearing gloves in cold water, so having a knife big enough to grab and feel is nice. Add in the fact that it mounts very securely on a lash tab and the sheath makes getting to the knife very easy, and it's perfect. Cool extra features like a glass punch, rope cutting notch, and grippy handle make it great for professional rescuers. I also love that the whole thing is one piece of steel. No durability issues there!

    A well thought our knife and sheath.

    As a first a swift water first responder I am required to have a 3blade, which is challenging to safely do in a fixed blade knife. The sheath keeps this tucked away and secure on my PFD. The window punch is a nice add on feature, eliminating an extra tool in my already extensive kit. A well thought our knife and sheath.
