Well I do like the knife...
Ya might post it over there anyway since it fits so well. I dive with a titanium something or another. Straight edge on one side, serrated along the back and a flat tip. It's come in handy a couple times.
Also use a little seaquest knife that mounts to the cumberbund on my Blackdiamond bc. Good stuff. I like yours better for a smaller knife though.
The fact that it clips in like that is a good idea, I hadn't considered it for tree work before.
I was wondering about the Stop, been thinking about picking one up. I use a Petzl minitraxion and tiblocs for SRT. You'll see that Quercus and I are rather fond of our Petzl gear.
Knowing the knots and hitches comes in handy if you dont have the gear, drop it, or foul it. Then again some people never use any "fancy" gear. If you were worried about melting through the sheathing using the Blake's then ya had to be doing *something* wrong. PM Newguy18 and ask him about it maybe.
