So, after reading the two threads about the DGX ceramic blade line cutter, I went ahead and bought one. Looks good, durability yet to be determined, but where do I put it? Waist strap, shoulder strap or somewhere else?
I already carry two knives. My primary knife/multitool has a pointed 15cm blade, and I wear it on the inside of my left calf. It's the one I use most, for everything from spearing fish to prying and hammering. The second one has a cute 5cm blade and is carried on my waist strap, to the left of the buckle. It's mostly used as a kill knife to finish off whatever I spear with the BFK. Now, the line cutter is probably superfluous, but I was thinking that it might be nice for vacation diving when I don't pack my knives and/or dive in places where knives are frowned upon. Besides, is it possible to have too many cutting tools?
But I'm still not quite sure where to put it. I already have a cutting tool on my waist strap, so I was thinking that the line cutter would fit better somewhere else. And my right shoulder D-ring and the real estate on my right shoulder strap are occupied by my backup light. So, I'm kinda thinking left shoulder strap, somewhere below the D-ring. But it's be nice to hear where others are stowing their cutting tools before deciding.
