Magpie was kind enough to let me have his old Effesub spearo knife, after I started a thread on the same model,
http://forums.deeperblue.net/hunting...uk-spearo.html - it's a flat, short, spearo dagger, exactly what was I was looking for. I will update that thread when I have had a chance to use it. It includes (among many feature) a hook shaped cutting notch, however on close inspection (when looking at sharpening it) the metal is quite thick there & the the edge quite blunt. I tried cutting some thick braid cord with it and it failed. Like you, I find the serrated edge of a knife normally cuts quicker & more reliably than the flat sharpened blade - maybe that's why wood saws don't have flat, straight blades
.
Settingsteel, the above knife's camo sheath has been modified by magpie with velcro for arm mounting - as you describe. I used it like that last week & it worked fine. However, I prefer continuous, thick elastic loops as they can't come undone - slightly harder to put on & take off but one less thing to worry about. I've seen dive computers held on with two loops 3mm/4mm bungee, so I might try something like that in the future.
