I do the same as Chuck Holst reported.  I use a Gerber, attached inverted,
to the tab just above the left front pocket on my PFD.  I have a cord from
the knife handle to a D-ring inside the pocket below the knife.  The cord is
not too long and the excess sits in that pocket.  The thought is that if I
need more than an arm's length of cord, I cut the cord.

Hasn't fallen out ever (despite being inverted).  I take it out from time to
time to check for rust (stainless steel is a mis-nomer), but, knock wood, I
haven't had to cut anything in an emergency situation as of yet.

HTH,
