Can't be doing with 'dive etiquette' - I got a stainless steel 6" blade in a lockable plastic hard cover for £15 and its fine. If I lose it, it's not a great financial loss, if it rusts I clean it with sandpaper! Don't go for the pathetic 'politically correct' small BC knives - you need a sturdy knife with a cutting edge and a serrated edge (also a hammer on the handle may be useful too!)

Regards

Best diving knife I ever had - a Kitchen Devil for a quid off the market.  No need for any of that fancy crap.

I know Andy's got his favourite (kitchen devils) but I do have a knife which it still as good as new 14 years after I bought it, and I've never had to vaseline it or anything. It's a Blackie Collins Wenoka Z-Lock (remember them?) and it did cost a few quid, but judging by it's condition, it was a few quid well spent!! It's a leg-strap job with a 6" blade!!
I don't know that Wenoka exist any more (I think they were bought out by SeaQuest / SeaStyle).
I'm not up to speed on the current knives, but as Andy and Jay say, don't spend a fortune because if you lost it you will be gutted!!

I'm using a US Divers knife, it has all of the necessary serrated and other cutting edges, flat tip for prizing stuff and a steel end to the handle for whacking with something heavy, I've never used it in anger yet (for anything) I just bought it cos it makes me look cool... :rofl:

Andy, quick question for interest, what made you think to use the kitchen devil as it's not so commonly known?

Why a knife? When was the last time you needed to whack someone? ever tried to cut yourself, or someone, else out of line - you carn't get the purchase - buy yourself some surgical scissors - life becomes alot easier.
