Re: [Paddlewise] Ceramic Knives

I have carried a knife on my PFD for 30 years. I have been fortunate,
through many white water and surfing adventures, never to have been
attacked by my own knife, although I lost one once on a lake trip. I
replaced that one with a more secure sheath catch!
I've been worried about the point for a number of years, altough it was
necessary when I first started, since the use it was originally intended
for was for cutting people out of wrapped boats on rivers, and I needed
the point for that. Since going almost exclusively to Sea-kayaking, I
always get the type of diver's knife that has a flat tip. I don;t know
if you can get a ceramic diver's knife with a flat tip, but it might be
worth a search.  Here's a serrated blade cooks knife that could be a
good start:
