The Halycon kinfe is actually an Akona (I think). That is nice and small...easy to stow out of the way but sharp enough to be useful, etc.

I believe the Halcyon is the "blunt-tip" model. If you need, I can take a photo of the thing in my hand so you can get sense of size...

And took a picture of my knife. This should give you a sense of exactly how big it is.

I prefer a lockback/folding knife. It stores nicely in a BC pocket when closed. Also consider a pair of EMT shears ---- not as macho as a huge pointy knife, but better at cutting line.

I wouldnt use a folding knife that you store in a pocket as a primary cutting tool. If you really needed to get to that knife when you are in a stressful situation, you may have trouble getting at it. I dont like that idea of a folding knife. Looks like a good idea on paprer, but not in the water...
I dont know, maybe i just like my life a little, and I want to be able to get to my knife in seconds.

I have 3 cutting tools:
Shears, on a boltsnap in my pocket.
Small Knife, found on a dive, in a sheath on my waist
and..
One BFK, usualy in my dive kit, and sometimes straped to my leg.
I use this for one thing. Stabing into the sand on the bottom of the river to hang onto against the rushing current an Morrison ON. Works great, looks cool and the only place I ever wear it.
