Wings - hook knife location

[CanEHdian 0]

Got a new Wings in the works and trying to determine the best solution for a hook knife.

Has anyone seen/got the 'snap under the mud flap' option that Wings offers?

Opinions & recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks,
CanEHdian

Mine is on the front of my right leg strap, mostly cause that's where my rigger stuck it when he packed my reserve.

generally speaking, you should not have the hook knife anywhere near the normal motion of your pull (ie. on your right leg strap). last year i saw a hook knife placed on a jumper's right leg strap get knocked loose and it ended up cutting some lines resulting in a reserve ride.

for what it is worth, mine is under the right mudflap and i hope i never have to use it.

if you say in the rigth side,would it then bee when you look at it when you wear it?if so i would meen it should be placed in your left side unlees you normaly would use your left hand..

im a rigth hand user there for i placed mine here(see pic)

I bought a steel handled knife, slip it through the thread thru legstrap on my right side, then pull it up over the thread thru when I cinch down my legstraps. That way it is secure and visible.

Lets see, my hook knife locations with my Wings container: a Jack the Ripper I sewed to my jumpsuit and a metal hook knife I put on my chest strap.

Don't use that cheap plastic shit that comes with the rig (actually its the same one I've seen come with various rigs, cheap orange plastic), it breaks very easily (just try to bend it, you'll see), its not trustworthy for your life.

...because the location isn't good under a mudflap?

Or was that just a general statement about having to use a hook knife?

Just a general statement. I like the location of the hook knife where it is.
