Here’s an Amazon link to the floats I use if anyone’s interested.

Re: Boating and lanyards
Hi, I've found this works best for me in and out of the water.
Re: Boating and lanyards
I had the idea of using silicone tubing which I have not tested yet because the tubing can have more than one purpose and that is similar to what you have here. A good possible use for silicon tubing is a tourniquet for when your Mahi Mahi does those backflips with knife stuck in it. **** it, now I got to source me some tubing for testingSurfingringo wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 2:12 pmHere’s an Amazon link to the floats I use if anyone’s interested.

Sadly I lost a prized Randal knife when my kayak got turned upside down in a rogue wave incident. I still am tempted to dive for it with a metal detectorSurfingringo wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 2:08 pmI’ve donated thousands of dollars of gear to the sea gods, haha. I started using these years ago and they have worked perfectly and saved both my knife and my phone (in a waterproof case) multiple times.
Lanyards are fine for “boating” IMO but when landing a big fish an open knife attached to a lanyard can be a real hazard. I have nightmares of having a 40lb Mahi Mahi doing backflips in my lap while tail wrapped in my knife/lanyard. A sharp knife on a retractable lanyard conjures up other bad images. I get those floats for a few bucks from Amazon and they work great and at the end of the day I can quick release the float while leaving the little connector hooked to the lanyard hole of the knife. Works well for me.
