Re: [Paddlewise] Death by Tether

I haven't been paying attention to this thread until now, but....let's see
if I'm on the right track - at the last trade show Charlie Wahlbridge
(sp?) and I had a conversation in the Extrasport booth about how knives
always hit me in the chin. In whitewater it's nice to have them on the
shoulder so your opposite hand hand just reach up and pull straight down.
He recommended a small Spyderco Clipit Jr. and.....a custom-made sheath by
someone at the Nantahala Outdoor Center. I got the knife and put it in my
lifejacket pocket tied by some small rope, but of course as I've been
teaching a lot of coastal kayaking lately, I took it out the other day to
find it rusted already. I took note of the fixes for that earlier. I wish
rust wasn't such a problem, it's hard to keep up with all the rinsing,
etc.
