Titanium

Your Nemo? What is your Nemo?

Knives are probably the least practical thing to make from titanium (other than weights, of course). Other than weight belts and anchors, knives are what I find most often on reefs and near wrecks. Why pay extra for something you're likely to lose?

I want one to go with my Atomic T2. I bought it because it has the best performance, not because it's Titanium. Also it saves about a pound in my carryon.

Especialy if you lose them at the same rate me and my Dive buddy do.

This one has 2 locks on it, so hopefully it won't meet that fate.
I'm also surfing around to find a titanium padlock for it as well.

oh man. just think how cool you sound to all your buddies at work who dont dive, when you say " I stabbed this ling cod with my new TITANIUM knife. Man im like an underwater ninja!"

i have a titanium dive watch and knife, and the knife does fell a little brittle, but it is suppose to lighter and stronger then ss anyways. The watch is a great thing, just the weight savings on a similiar ss watch for wear on a daily basis.

Well, I have to admit, I also have a titanium dive knife, but alas, no sheath. The person who lost it didn't toss the sheath overboard.

HAHA, more people should donate scuba gear like that

As my gunsmith used to say:

"We call it 'titanium' because no one would ever pay so much for something we called simply 'A special aluminum alloy'."

I had no idea titanium was actually aluminum!

I mean, the atoms even have a different number of protons. I didn't know our alloying techniques were that advanced
