About five dollars, you can afford to put a bunch in the cessna so you don't tow students! Maybe use for crw. top http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_10551_10001_48737_-1______?rFlag=true&cFlag=1 A 'Jack The Ripper' by any other name.... ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianM 1 #27 May 21, 2009 Quote A 'Jack The Ripper' by any other name.... Looks like the business end has a wider opening than the Jack The Ripper. Looks big enough to get a finger in, which I can't do on a Jack."It's amazing what you can learn while you're not talking." - Skydivesg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topdocker 0 #28 May 21, 2009 Uh, not sure of the cutting ability on fingers. You could try it if you really need to know if you can cut through your finger.Worked well on the dacron in the loft. May be a tad wider than standard Jack, but I don't think that is an issue. If I need it, I think my fingers will be out of the way. top Jump more, post less!

A hook knife will definitely cut a finger if the opening is big enough to get it in there. Don't think it will cut right through the finger, though! Quote If I need it, I think my fingers will be out of the way. Agreed; besides, cut fingers will heal. I'm not too worried about cutting a finger while using a hook knife to save my life - I was just pointing out a difference between the two knives in question."It's amazing what you can learn while you're not talking." - Skydivesg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topdocker 0 #30 May 26, 2009 I pulled that knife out and played a little more seriously with it this weekend. Not on my gear, but checked the "finger catch" issue. While the opening is wider than the standard hook knife, the blades start a little further down, so the cutting space is about the same. Yes, I could cut my pinky, but not my middle finger. A good, cheap substitute that is easy to get, so you can have plenty on hand. topJump more, post less! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
