Anyone know a company that makes quality shears for diving? I'm a total klutz when it comes to knives, so I'll leave the big titanium monster to my husband 
Good shears

Are there EMT shears with a pivot pin that doesn't rust? While the main part of my pair of Sea Snips are stainless steel, the rivet rusts easily.
I have a pair marketed by Zeagle (I don't know who they buy them from), and the pin/rivet rusts on them. FWIW.
They're attached to the clip in my bc pocket (Pro QD+) via a 3' long shock cord. The last thing I'd want to do is accidentally drop them when I needed them the most. And I figure if the cord gets tangled, I'd just use the shears on it.

Picked up a pair of stainless steel EMT shears for a whopping $1 at a local dollar store, SS multitool with separate locking knife for $5 at another store. The multitool/knife stay in my shore box, the shears fit nicely in the nylon holster that came with the multitool. I must have had good karma that day
Buy 'em cheap and replace them every year. Remember, they cut fingers and bc's just as easily as they cut monofilament and pennies.

Was that shears, or GFs?

Regarding EMT shears....drill out the rivet and replace with a small ss bolt and nut. Did that at work long before I started scuba diving.

Okay, I have a dumb question
How do people attach their shears in their pocket?
I keep mine in my left drysuit pocket, in their sheath, with a double-ended stainless bolt snap (one end of the snap on the pocket d-ring, the other through the thumb hole of the handle). It just seems like a bad way of securing them in there kinda clunky.
Thanks.
