Nemrod and Dr Lecter, where do you wear your Tekna and how affixed.
While I'm at it, might as well ask where divers are wearing their Trilobites too. I have one and not overly happy with placement.
Mine Tekna knife is on my waist belt to the left. My Trilobite is on my left shoulder harness strap.
When the situation calls for a knife the Tekna is up to the job. For people who are dangerous to themselves with sharp objects I think it comes in a blunt tip and also a high dollars titanium model.
The Tekna dagger is not a BFK, it probably is not larger than the Chinese POS you had before you lost it twice and which would have snapped in to two pieces if you had ever really needed it.
That is what I mean by real, if you cannot count on it then it is a toy.
As to scissors, whatever, I will take my knife. Most of those scissors are Chinese crap too.
When I broke my left femur, the Fire Rescue arrived and insisted on cutting my favorite pair of Scott Tinley bike shorts off of me with those stupid shears to my vigorous protest and threats to kick their arises if they did. Yep, they broke and he grabbed a second pair. China crap.
