Thanks Doug et al for the Velcro/tether comments (not often I'm thought of
as good :~)

Reason I use Velcro is distrust that a knife will cut a tether loose when
its needed and fear of clumsily slashing a foldable. OTOH the Velcro might
be fine in warm climates where gloves are not de rigeur but I imagine it
would be near impossible to undo Velcro while wearing gloves in the cold -
so I guess when its cold bring back the knife.

All the best, PeterO
