Careful Brad, back in my white water rafting days a story spread that a 
rafting company made a number of their customers sick when they used 
their river knives for preparing food. It seem the uncleaned knives in 
their sheaf breed some potent bacteria. So all of us might be wise to 
use separate knives for food prep. I have an old teckna knife in a 
plastic sheaf with a short loop of nylon cord. It has been attached to 
my PFD for years and thankfully I have never had to use it for any type 
of emergency.
