This and a EEZYCUT trilobite, both on the waist band.

I have one of these at home, but when I strap it on for a dive folks wonder what I have in mind, so I just use my old BFK so they just think I'm lost in the glory days.

YES, that's a real man's dive knife!!!

Here are my dive knives. The larger ones to the left of the Wenoka knife on the right are my Sportsways knives that I like because they hold an edge and have a good serrated edge. The Wenoka knife on the right is the one I currently dive.

I love Wenoka for a BFK. Too bad they went OOB.

Hey Dudes - I searched around the forum for a thread on dive knife recommendations. I found stuff here and there but couldn’t find anything specific. We are headed to Key Largo in a few weeks for 4 days of diving (first dive since last August). Here is the deal. A year ago I bought a cheap knife on-line. Even with rinsing after each dive, it rusted and was just basically a piece of crap. So, on my last dive last year, I didn’t take my knife. We were diving a barge off the coast of Orange Beach and I got caught up in a bunch of monofilament. Scared the hell out of me. Fortunately, a guy with us had a knife and was able to cut me out of the mess. So, knife is now at the top of my equipment list. But I want to get one that isn’t a pile of crap and rusts even with proper cleaning. Also, I don’t want one of those “James Bond” looking leg strapped sword. Essentially, simplicity that I can attach to my BC is the ticket. Finally, I’d like to be able to find a good one on Amazon - I happen to have a gift card…… Any suggestions?

Thanks!

How do you access the cutter mounted on the dive computer with the hand that's wearing the computer?

For every day diving, I also have/recommend a trilobite style cutter. I have a double sided ceramic one (can't find where I bought it for some reason). It's held up well, and the ceramic blades are nice b/c they don't rust.

I don't care what people say, I have one of those and love the handle.

These days I use a different one, but of similar size.

I may not need a blade that long, but every short blade knife I see has such a small handle is not good for me. My hands are not that big either I used medium gloves, I can't imagine a big guy using those small knives.
A scalpel has less than 2" blade but the handle is designed for adult hands, why is not the same with dive knives.
