Large Scuba Knife with Hand Guard (Knuckle be Nice!)

[Sam Miller III]

... I know far from everything about dive knives, but I do have about 150 of them on a wall in my home. Quite a shock :11: for the little woman when we first met and she came to visit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I also have a selection but in boxes...Some day E bay or the wall..( have and for trade??)

Suggest that if any one interested in a knife collecting they visit www.portagequarry.com, Legends of diving, "Leon Lyons museum of diving." Leon's collection numbers over 1200 diving knives. Many can be seen in the pictures.

There were two knives made with covered handles, the Vulcan and the Puma. The German made Puma was several years behind the Vulcan and never gained popularity in the US Diving world.

I have paid a visit in the past. Here's the website: http://www.vulcaniasubmarine.com/LEON LYONS.htm

I just ran out of room (and money). He's my idol.

Impressive isn't it?

His new book on Dive helmets is in the works, should be out soon. Suggest reserveing a copy ASAP.

Since you are in Chicago where it is hot and windy are you going to the Portage Quarry Legends event?

Zale Parry will be featured...

If you're that afraid of the "toothy ones"..........STAY THE F$#% OUT OF THE WATER!!!!!!

You need to start diving open water and stop doing all those useless pool dives..

If you are so worried about being eaten just carry a small depth charge or a stun gun with you.

But in seriousness just carry a small red flag on a pole extending from your tank that way when I see you on the diveboat I can swim in the other direction.

You don't need a big freakin' knife, you need a new hobby cause you clearly dont see how much of a hazard you are with that gynormus rambo knife.

Actually, the "Im gonna fight a fish thats 3 times my size when im underwater" attitude scare me a bit more than the knife itself..

What do you think you're going to be running into underwater that you'll need a powerhead? Or even the giant knife you were planning on getting? Have you heard of a recent surge in shark attacks on divers?

Dive knives are not intended to be weapons, they're meant as tools for cutting or prying. And I think paramedic shears are way better at cutting than a knife will be...

You guys are funny.

You tell em Nemrod. After all, the only reason we dive is to fight our way back to the top of the foodchain.
