One thing I like about the knife I carry now, is that it a caribiner type clip at the top, so it hooks onto my belt with one hand. Seems important to me.
I use my knife so much in the surf, cutting line, leaders, prying split rings etc. Nail clippers blow chunks
I couldnt go out without a blade.
I notice several of you carry straight blades. They arent too big on the waist?
Sometimes my pliers poke me in the thigh from the belt sheath, esp. when climbing up onto high rocks.
One of my winter goals is to move gear around on my belt and bag for the easiest use. And Im done with throw away gear. But Ill start another thread for that.
I like that M16-3, nice
