Dive Knife Guide

i have never used a dive knife but i know i will need to get one before i start my idc in october

I got my dive knife as a present a good 15yrs before I even started diving... It's a big traditional one, curved knife edge, pointy tip, serrated back edge, line cutter, solid plastic case. I also have a small version of it which i got for training.
Neither has been used for anything much other than cutting cheese or spreading butter for my interval snack.

you spelt traditional wrong

420 Blaze It Steel

Good that the video shows how to use each part of the knife, what it's for, the features available and the variety of features available. I'd like to see what a titanium knife with a chizel tip would cost.

why not just use a standard knife? anyways you can't show off your dive knife when you in under water right?
basically knife is a piece of metal with sharp edge with sharp point isn't?
why so complicated?

Wow. So many to choose from. Now I'm more confused!

Titanium amphibianpro

How about the knife of Rambo? 🤔😅

i like the titanium one

I use an McNETT Saturna blunt tip diving knife

I always carry a butter knife. Great if you get a little peckish during a dive...can be a little tricky buttering the bread though.

just put a one pound fifty kitchen devil in a bit of blue alkathene pipe ,,, drill a hole in the handle and a hole in the pipe , one bit of para cord through the lot , and a four foot length on the cord with a loop so the whole lot can be self reeved through a pocket d ring . job done for two quid ,,, occasionally stab it into fresh soil to keep the rust down even on stainless , and there you go , a knife you wont loose , and wont mind hacking through stuff with. and all for about three quid.
but buy a nice titanium knife from these guys and keep it in the car. to show your a real diver.

I use a 2€ kitchen knife with a blunt tip made with an grinder 🤙

i was on a dive with someone who once brought a proper balisong to a dive.

Tanto knives are superior for puncturing or penetrating objects because of the tip strength, there's a lot more material for support compared to a standard drop point or dagger point blade.

Shears aren't a knife they are considered Shears hence the name

I use a $3 fishing knife, that’s stainless steel with a plastic tension sheath. Simply drilled a hole at the tip of the sheath, so it hangs off the weight belt (no BCD).

I don't trust the quality of those knives. Poor steel, "stainless" is not a good steel and titanium is a pain to sharpen. I'm not sold... And most of all, I don't believe that they are full tang

Best knife I ever dived with was a first gen benchmade Resuue/Dive. Had a sheepsfoot blade and a sheath that was rivited so you could thread bungie through it. Short enough to mount on my wrist and enough blade for almost anything.
