and they can be opened one-handed. Their serrated-edge knives will saw

The Perception-Harmony Kayak 2 1/2" Rescue knife works pretty good, and has
a clip on the back. At that price you could keep it clipped to your PFD, or

a positive lock.

to whippin' one of those bad boys out, and folks around you are definitely
going to perk up! Someone has to set the mark when it comes to serving hors
d'oerves, and a 30" razor-sharp piece of steel wielded at lightning-fast
speeds will make that next dinner party in the saloon a memorable one!
