What are the screws that hold the grip plates to the body of the Boker tool made of?

I also carry EMT titanium shears in a sheath and an EezyCut Trilobite, both on opposite sides of my harness webbing.

If I am so tangled up that I can't reach either side, that's what good buddies are for...

Like others, shears on one side of the waist strap, EezyCut on the other side.

I can easily reach both, on the left side, with either hand. I once got caught (solo) on an almost invisible line and almost freaked-out as I could not see the algae-covered line in the green darkish water. I got a grip and defaulted to STOP, then backed-kicked out of the line, after which I could see the bastard-line-to-nowhere, then cut the stupid thing. Some ass-wipe ran a line between two trees and left it there.

With 3 layers of webbing, my cutting devices are smooth to move but more prone to stay in place

You guys are awesome - thanks so much to everyone who has responded so far

Victorinox kitchen knife on the waist band, an other small knife on the inflator hose in a small webbing sheath.
The Victorinox are strong, sharp and cheap to replace.
The cordage is to help pull it out with gloves on.
Edit: Typo.

I thought the 440C this is made from was not so good in salt-water. ??

Thanks all for reminding me to buy a new box of EMT shears.
