River Knives

Whitewater boaters carry knives because they carry ropes. So far I am only disappointed with the knives on the market. Would someone PLEASE design, and make a good river knife!

First I carried a folder, a cheap para-frame design in stainless steel. I put it on the lash tab located above my left collarbone on my PFD. One day I felt something on my neck, it was the OPEN BLADE! Now I carry that knife in my pocket.

Next, I got myself the Rescue Hook from Benchmade. (left) This looks like a good safe design. Worked well, fell off somewhere.







The Next knife for me was the CRKT Bearclaw.
This knife I also liked, and it also fell off.






















I looked at an NRS Pilot knife. Nice price, too big, wear it and the Rambo jokes start. Also the sheath is comples and funny, but matbe this one will not FALL OFF.
