Good. I actually did have to cut a line once, in the Erie Canal on a sailboat (mast stored, of course). Got a bit scary when it jammed at the top of the static line and started to pull the boat over. Damn glad I had that sharp rigging knife on my belt. Learned a thing or two on that little incident, too.
