No but I cut hoses given half a chance...

I carry only shears. I have only used them to extract my new backup light from its heavy-duty plastic bubble-pak!

Lately, I've been using it to stone the fish, and I've seen a lot less cudas looking at my stringer.
The new Titanium seems to work better than SS for cutting lines and cleaning fish.
I'm considering of changing my small DR Z-knife for the OMS Ti line cutter, the price is holding me back so far and the fact that I've never used the small Z-knife in over 8yrs carrying it.

When I am afield - I am carrying a knife or three. A BFK is something that is always good to have around. You can do much with a big knife that you can with a little knife but not the other way around.
I have a medium sized (5" +/- blade) with a pointed tip that is there just in case I do tangle with somehting that cannot be dealt with otherwise. The other is a blunt tipped affir that does more pounding, prying, scraping and the like than actial cutting but is still very handy to have around.
I am a pilot, an outsoorsman, (hunter, Jeeper, camper, etcetera) an avid offshore fisherman and, af course, a diver and in all of these settings I rest with my favorite time honored saying, "Better to HAVE it and not need it than to NEED it and NOT have it!"
The other saying I like, that is so true in a plane, in a boat and underwater is, "If you have it but do not have it with you - you do not have it!"
