The Stiff K.I.S.S. knife also comes with a form-fitted Zytel sheath ( 1.5 oz.). The sheath has 6 holes and 2 slots that will allow the knife to be lashed to gear or even to a part of the body. The sheath also has weep holes to help keep the knife dry.

I have opted to secure the knife to the shoulder area of my fishing/flotation vest (with handle hanging down). This way, if the knife is needed, I can quickly extract it from the sheath and take care of the business at hand. I usually have small clippers or scissors hanging from my vest (to cut or trim line), but while float fishing, I have lost quite a bit of line while fumbling to get the clippers. Now when I am floating down the river and my lure gets snagged (and I can't retrieve it), I just grab the knife and touch the line......I have saved quite a bit of line by using this method. Also, on a more serious note, this knife is extremely useful in cutting anchor rope. A while back, while floating my home river, my anchor wedged between two large boulders. The current was very strong and I could not get back up river to the anchor. Waves were crashing over my pontoons, so I had to act fast. After a few unsuccessful attempts to free the anchor, I immediately grabbed the K.I.S.S. knife and severed the rope. All it took was one, quick swipe and thankfully I was set free.

I find myself using this knife all day long, for many different tasks, while I am floating the river. This may not be the most important tool to have while floating or wading, but for myself, I won't be caught on the river without it.

The Stiff K.I.S.S. knife comes with sheath, paracord, stainless steel clip, Zytel belt adapter, and Chicago screws.
