...and did I mention that my Kershaw cam-action knife is very nice...

Switchblades better than Gravity...switchblade draws faster than (real) Sheath Knife, depending..but is complicated...and better used for slashing, not full-use-without-hesitation (which if you don't do...you have handed YOUR killer the tool to do it with)...Muttly figures that IF you muster your full unhesitating determination at the instant it will save your life...even later....your equipment should be as strong and simple as possible.

...and as taught in SCUBA..."3 knives : 1 to lose, 1 to break, 1 to save your life" ....and that's not including the Bolt Cutters, Breaker Bar and ratchet collection...and Vise Grips.

"Sport Diving" is a mortal experiment too...if done correctly !
