Nice review Vic .... and I agree totally on chopping without a lanyard .... I don't use them and figure if I am THAT tired that I need it to help me keep my grip .... it is time to stop and take a breather ....

The only time I ever have any lanyard is on a SCUBA knife which is attached to the leg sheath by an elasticated cord or similarly if using a knife on a yacht I use the same type of set up .... and that is simply to prevent loss.
