The little 5.00 serated vicys are the only way to go!You can find them at marine suply stores and some tackle stores.They are sharp enough to chew threw a two inch line like it was nothing.I still cary one on my right hip out of habbit!People always want to compare there buck knifes to it and loose!

I was up in the Bearing sea cutting a crab pot of the side of the ship when all of a sudden I got clobbered upside the head,sent me flying a good 5 10 feet.When I was able comprehend what was going on again my bosun was standing there pointing out that my dumb ass was standing on a couple hundred feet of of coiled line tied to the crab pot.As we were dropping these pots off in several thousand fathoms of water He saved my life god rest his soul and I always have my eye on any coiled line.God that old boy could hit hard!!!
