Jeeeesh.
See - this is what you get when you have people who have never hunted
or fished in their lives or understand why you would have to open a
knife with one hand.
I can open all my picket knifes with one hand including my Leatherman.
Time to start another campaign.
I know of one person here who would have swamped his boat if he'd had
a slow-to-open knife. He wouldn't have been able to cut away his
anchor "in a flash" that time he set anchor in breaking waves.
Who does that, anyway?
Not me. Obviously, not you, since you "boat" on a flat inland lake in,
ugh, South Carolina.- Hide quoted text -

You were either lying yesterday, or lying today, which is it?:

north of Mayport when the wind shifted, and some big waves began
breaking just in front of and and the bow of the boat. We took two
substantial waves right over the bow, and I thought I was going to
lose
the boat. But I was able to cut the anchor line in a flash, start up
the
engine, and get the water to the stern, where it poured right over
the
transom."
He can't keep track of the lies.
