Most boat yard stores have some realy nice small serrated edje knifes ,
around 5.00 , swiss made. VERY SHARP ans small. I usualy pick two up at a
time , and keed the second as a spare. I uses an old balistic nylon sheath
with a plastic insert , that happens to fit. Keep it on the left shoulder
strap using tie wraps. Others keep it on the waist , forearm , even on
ligts. Most of all , Make sure you can get to it with bith hand.
