If you are in mode of kayaking involving lines of any kind such as in sailing or fishing, a knife is a smart thing to have. Also perhaps anyone using tethers of any kind might also want to carry a knife. The risk of entanglement in many tethering devices is quite low especially for a tether of paddle to boat particularly if it kept short. But a knife assures you have a chance of untangling if somehow things go wrong with the tether. > I too find it difficult to believe that a fisherman did not have a knife handy and would suggest that perhaps a knife was in hand, on deck or in the bilge. Since we are on the topic of tethers, let's tether our rescue knife to our PFD.
