: I have a Gerber Prodigy survival/camp knife which has served me
: well, no complaints at all except it is a little to big to carry
: on my PFD. I got lucky buying the Prodigy as I know little about
: knives, now I need some suggestions. I am thinking along the
: lines of having something quickly accessible for emergency
: cutting of things like tangled tow lines, paddle leashes, etc. I
: know I will never get the perfect knife but some of the things I
: "think" I need are; 2"-3" blade, no leather
: handle or sheath, able to mount upside down without falling out,
: easily removable from sheath, stainless, some sort of tang to
: prevent fingers from sliding up on the blade. You get the idea,
: not to large and easily accessible for time sensitive
: emergencies. what do you guys carry and what are the pro's and
: con's of your choices?
: Thank you in advance

Bass Pro shop has the Smith and Wesson Tactical Knife that has a stainless blade partially serated, a synthetic handle, and a clip to attach to your PFD.... the price... an unbeatable $12.99.
