I recently purchased a hook knife to use while paragliding but I also
intend to carry it when wearing my parachute in the sailplane. This
will allow a chance of cutting free from the parachute after landing
in extreme conditions. Some hook knives are better than others and I
have learned that the hook knife of choice is made by Benchmade Knife
Company,www.benchmade.com. I purchased the Hook7 but they make other
hook knife designs that would work. I heard that hook knives that have
double razor type blades can jam. The Hook7 has a single cutting edge
that cannot be jammed.

Who manufactures The Delta Wing type Emergency chutes? Are they
readily available? THNX 1RW

Rigging Innovations. There are two versions(both square parachutes)
depending on the pilots experience/training with modern parachutes.
