I'll to the the list already offered by others: A Spyderco rescue knife or
something similar. The blade is half straight and half serrated. The point
of the knife is rounded. It's designed for EMTs who often need to cut
someone's clothing off without cutting the person, hence the rounded
point.

If you could have only 5 things in a first aid kit for the boat, what
would
they be?

If you could have 10, what would you add?

(General first aid kit, not something specialized for a diabetic, heart
patient, hemophiliac, etc)



Aspirin (pain and heart attack first aid (give 4))
Imodium (stops the runs)
Dramamine (seasickness)
Benadril (antihistamine good for bites stings etc)
insect repellant
eye wash
pliers to remove hooks
knife
sun screen
zinc oxide
gatorade (heat exhaustion)
iodine
bandaids
oxygen if scuba diving (100% oxygen for bends, near drowning and carbon
monoxide poisoning)
extra water (doesn't need to be in the kit but store a couple of bottles
under a seat)
ace pressure bandage for shark bites
