I wear a Spyderco folding rescue knife in a plastic slip case on the
lashtab of my PFD. It slides out and can be opened easily with one
gloved hand, which I proved Saturday when I got tangled in some
discarded 30# fishing line (Arrgh!) near the shore. I can get it out and
open as quick as any fixed blade knife I've ever owned. Lots of places
sell this knife, but I've only seen the case at NOC.
