Here's a quicky review with what I know so far and a few photo's of my new Linsen Dive Sword! It's a full tang knife, meaning the tang goes all of the way to the end of the handle and it has a lanyard hole there. (I had to drill holes in my Dacor handle to put a lanyard on it) The handle is some kind of rubber and it's molded right around the tang. The tip is flat, not sharp curved up like a pry bar. The serrated edge is razor sharp. Overall, it seems to be pretty rugged and feels like a good tool if that makes sense.
It looks like a mini gladius.Here's a quicky review with what I know so far and a few photo's of my new Linsen Dive Sword!

On the negative side: I can wear my Dacor knife sheath on bare skin and it feels ok but I'm pretty sure the Linsen nylon sheath would abrade the skin fast. The serrated edge is very sharp but the edge on the other side is totally dull. I don't know if this one skipped that part of the manufacturing process or what but it was rounded smooth. It's very sharp now!
On the plus side: I paid a Dollar and a Quarter for it! $1.25. The Seller started the auction at one Penny so I bid ten bucks on it. One other person bid but I won it for a Buck and a Quarter! Ok ok ok it was plus ten bucks shipping.
He's got another one up for auction sale but he started this one for five Bucks. Here's some photo's.
Edited to add:
it was to long to fit in my Dacor sheath but maybe I open the end up so it sticks thru! It's all dull at the tip.
since the ad give no detail. Does the knife say what kind of steel it is made from ?440 ?Here's a quicky review with what I know so far and a few photo's of my new Linsen Dive Sword!

Hmmm. Isn't that what your M1911A-1 is for? What, forget to bring it with?
No it doesn't say what kind of steel it is but since it's from China, I would not expect really high quality. There was no paperwork with mine when it arrived. It's most likely 420 Stainless. I put the edge on the second side with my Lansky sharpener. I used the 22 degree edge, not a scalpel edge but not an ax edge either. Sort of a very sharp working knife edge.
A Glock will fire underwater with maritime spring cups although they are really more for an over the beach scenario when the striker channel a still water-logged so the water won’t hydraulically impede the forward motion of the striker.
