I would also suggest that whatever knife you get, that the handle be made slim, such as one wrapped in paracord, so that it fits easily and flat against the body.

Also, I'd go with a thinner blade and one a bit flexible, not much, just enough to not break, such as Cold Steel makes.

Then, I'd put a Spiderco serrated edge on it so that it will cut through fabrics or rope, etc. as needed.

My friend Gerald Willey will put a Spiderco edge on the knife for you. He does it for custom Spiderco knives for the company and he can do it for you.
