Something that will snap shut on your fingers suddenly? Or a flick knife to scare your buddy? “There are a range of options available in our store sir…”Hello! Can someone recommend workable FOLDING diving knife?
Spyderco Salt series. They are locking so they won't snap close on your fingers, but the spine lock is fairly easy to use underwater at least with thin gloves. The H1 metal is fairly rustproof. And it is available in a variety of designs and sizes. I like the Hawkbill serrated versions, they really eat through ropes, which is the primary reason to use them vs shear or Z knives.
i'm still trying to find an out the front automatic that can handle salt water. cause that "snikt" sound is so satisfying.
In my experience the Spyderco Serrated Pacific Salt is a good bet.
Its the largest of the Salts series Spyderco make and so is fairly easy to open one handed for me and I've got big hands and usually dive w 5mm mitts.
The Atlantic Salts are great but that little bit smaller. I'm happy using them too but some might find it fiddly one handed with thick gloves.
Got small hands or thin gloves? Then don't worry about it. Get whatever.
They're great knives though.

How do you store/attach the Spyderco folders? I’m thinking a pouch or BC pocket, but want to have it attached via a lanyard but without dangling. Thoughts?
