There are sports and activities where attaching a folder above the waist makes sense (think spray skirts, buoyancy belts and overloaded duty belts). The Remote Release's spring loaded shackle clip fastens to a carabiner, belt loop or ring and releases by pulling back on the textured release pin. The model permits releasing and one hand opening without having to rotate the knife in the hand. Kraton handle insets inhibit skidding in the hand. Lanyard hole for backup/secondary cord attachment.
