Meanstreak River/Rescue Knife
Great Knife. I was fortunate enough to get a prototype in early in May. And have been using attached to my
PFD (personal floatation devices) all summer. The sheath design fits snuggly into manufacturers receivers on most PFD’s. The angle on the sheath forces the handle into the PFD and keeps it out of your way.
A rescue knife never comes out unless it’s needed in a rescue situation. But I wanted to test how this knife cuts. I tried it on 1/2” and 1” wet tubular webbing, cut through like spaghetti. Next on wet rope, 11mm throw bag static line. Then some 10mm Perlon. Finished 1/2” braided rope. Cut through easily with one upward motion using the serrated edge. The knife feels good in my hand and I like the weight. As with all rescue knives you want to practice your draw. This knife is sharp and a correct draw will keep you from getting cut.
I’ve used many knives over my 50 + years of rafting and I highly recommend this knife.
