I have titanium EMT shears that have a great sheath and they have held their edge. (I also dive with a small Spyderco H1 fixed blade and a Hollis cutter for redundancy.) Thanks for sharing!

What material is used in your blades. I've encountered Aluminum (Aluminium), Stainless Steel, and Titanium. I have some of each. The Aluminum doesn't hold a edge as well, but doesn't corrode. It will still cut a copper penny (U.S.) - once. Demonstrate with a throwaway pair. The titanium needs to be rinsed and dried with blades open after diving and will hold a decent edge for a while. Stainless steel is probably my favorite pair. It will corrode if not thoroughly rinsed properly.
My line cutter has ceramic blades. Cuts small line well.

Most of the blades we take underwater are not exactly built to last, .
The pair I'm replacing is stainless steel. It will cut a penny multiple times.....but it will NOT cut line. Just makes it a little fuzzy.....and warm.
