The knife is very good. I like how it has different blades on each side and a place to cut a wire in-case of running into fishing lines or whatever else someone may get tangled upon.
Great knife, but must take it apart and clean it after done in salt water. I didn't know that it would come all the way apart and it started to rust underneath the handle.
Good knife I would just recommend spraying something on it before taking it into salt water.

Disassembles easily for cleaning and care of SS blade...very sharp blade, decent holster / retention system. Easy to remove with or without gloves.
The rubber straps don't come close to going around my leg - I plan to grab some velcro from the hardware store and make my own strap.
There are certainly better knives, but this is a good value at this price.

This is a great knife and is a nice weight. Clicks into place and has a nice feel. Only bad is I strapped this to my upper thigh only to have it fall down the entire dive even after tightening to the point of pain. Need a better design to attach it to you/the equipment.
Very comfortable attachment onto my calf

Another example of how the classification "stainless" doesn't seem to mean anything these days. Unless you take this knife apart after diving and cover it in grease it rusts like crazy. You get what you pay for.
A great inexpensive dive knife

A good example of a great dive knife. It disassembles for cleaning after using in salt water, which eliminates the need to spend big bucks on a titanium knife. Very functional, with necessities like the line cutter, serrated edge which will cut almost anything, a blunt tip for safety, and a sheath that holds the knife securely.

I haven't been diving with this knife yet so I cant really say a whole lot about it, but from what I know abotu knives in general it seems to be a great knife for the money. I'm not sure about the plastic handle though, it does seem solid so I guess only time will tell on that part of it. All in all I'm glad I got this knife.

I thought a stainless knife wouldn't rust. I learned that you do need to dry it off after each dive when I pulled the knofe and found it pitted with rust. It was a good price, and I might buy it again, but I would be sure and dry it after each dive!

Light Weight, I can barely tell this is on my leg. It took me a few minutes to figure out how the straps were to be looped through the sheath. A small instruction sheet showing how to do this would be the only improvement I can suggest. Nice size. It fits my hand good the release on the sheath is located in a handy spot and it is easy to release. Great buy. Excellent product

I love this knife. It comes apart for easy cleaning, and is just the right size. I have big hands as it is, and while wearing a 3mm glove, they get even bigger. But regardless, the grip remains comfortable.
