Kitezilla,
It was good meeting you last week in S. Padre.
I have never needed my hookknife for my own emergency, but have used hookkives to help others several times. On more than one occassion I've ended up with a knife that simply will not cut the line no matter how much tension (even sawing with the darn thing).
I now carry the double bladed hookknife and a folding titanium dive knife with a partially serrated blade. The dive knife is on a 5' lanyard becuase it doesn't help when it's on the bottom of the bay.
I think you can get replacement blades here for something like $2.00/blade:
