>> Also Bob Woodward asked about using line that could break if in an emergency you got entangled with your knife tether. Probably would work since all you want the knife tether to do is to allow you to drop the knife and still recover it rather than it get lost to the deep blue sea. It doesn't need the strength of a paddle tether where you might have to hang on to a boat that is running away from you in the wind. The latter tether needs some holding power. A knife one need not have so much strenght. ralph >> However, it might not prevent you from losing your knife if it snags on the kayak during a reentry.
