Question Arm Mounted Knife

I am after decent knife to miount on my forearm. Currently using a crappy blunt thing housed in a homemade sheath.

Can anyone recommend a good sharp knife?

Underwater Kinetics Remora. Seriously sharp but compact. Have used it twice in anger now - once on polyprop line and once on monofilament, made short work of both, no rust after approx 2years.

Yep I have one of those Ramora knives, I attached mine to the waist band, not sure I would want one strapped to my arm especially if I had to use it and then put it back you wouldn't want to stab yourself now would you.

Not stabbed myself yet - it does not have much of a point to it which is helpful.

Seeman Sub do a lovely folding titanium knife, so no chance of stabbing yourself when you put it back. Pricey at £60 but you'll only buy it once. Maybe twice if you drop it. Ouch

Tesco vegetable knife £1.97, snap the tip off so you don't stab yourself. Bit of old pipe as a sheath.

If I had a knife on my left forearm, I'd wonder how to get it out if my right arm was tangled.
