Even less strength, these days. --And what do you do about such stuff as Spider Wire? It's not easy to cut at all... some divers now carry ceramic knives or scissors to deal with that stuff. I carry a Gerber on my PFD that can be reached with either hand. On a separate rescue pouch I carry a seatbelt cutter. One strong yank with that will go through most webbing and even up to 1/2 inch rope.
