I had a situation where I needed it and didn't bring it because it was "Just a local dive."

Fortunately, my buddy wasn't so lazy.

Now I always bring at least two, even I'm just going to the pool.

flots.

Wasn't really a sticky situation, just had to cut our way thru old netting and fishing lines w/hooks/lures hung up on a wreck...We knew what we were getting into but needed to do it to get to some old brass port holes and other items.....Makes one appreciate a good sharp cutting tool !!!!

Cut some mono once. Just cleaning up the reef. That's it in 23 years.

Haven't carried a knife or cutting tool in the past 19 years when diving.

I've used mine a dozen times, but never in the water. Comes in handy for cutting bungie, zipties, and for opening food packages

My buddy was leading on the grove at 112' inside the ship and got fouled on monofilament. I got out the knife and cut him free. You never know how narced you are until trying to use a knife and then put it away at depth. Rather uneventful but had we not had cutting tools it might have been bad at that depth.

I use my knife more for cutting oranges/fruit than anything else..... Its also good for fishing.

We use knives a lot. Hopefully on every dive..My 13-yr old using his...
