Knife advice

[littleleemur]

There is a certain DS in Hong Kong whose claim to fame is their large selection of Rambo Knives, spearguns and BCs with so many metal D rings they could be easily mistaken as display racks.

Apparently, the rationale is: you need the big knife to cut up the huge fish you just killed with your Shamu-sized speargun to BBQ it over an open flame on the beach - survivor style

Anyone who knows HK waters can see the humour in this as:
1) Hong Kong has a silty bottom so there isn't much down there.
2) Most accessible HK beaches are too polluted -- both the water and the beaches. So what's fueling the BBQ? Dirty grocery bags?
3) With a spear that size, there wouldn't be any fish left.
4) If there was anything left, that knife would certainly take care of it.



To answer the question: I carry 2 cutting tools. One straped to my middle and another on the shoulder strap of the opposit side.

small knife with a serated edge kept sharp with a blunt tip. a sheathe can easily be made using a bit of webbing and use a piece of inner tube tohelp keep it in place. Stored in the waist band to the left of the buckle where it's easily accessible with either hand. I agree with seasnake too that you don't want to spend a fortune on a knife, you will eventually lose it. Just my .02.

you will eventually lose it.

Or break it ....
