Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef 3" Mini BC Knife:

I like this little knife. Im deployed and use it for cutting rope and fuel bladders. It helps to have a knife that has a stout blade and hold its edge well. This one does it well. The material I cut mostly is a thick fabric reinforced rubber bladder used to store fuel.

The sheath is very handy, I have it mounted on my backpack shoulder strap and the knife is easy to clip in and out. It will not accidentally fall out and I have yet to miss the slot for the blade. I'm not worried about rust, all you have to do is clean it well and whip it down with some WD-40 or Corrosion-X. Just make sure you remove the oil before you let it get in contact with your wetsuit.

Used the knive for one week diving in the caribbian.
It was very rusty after a cuple of dives

Service & Delivery comments:

The customer service answered quickly.
Unfortunately there is no chance for customers from oversea to get the product exchanged.
The delivery cost exceeds the cost of the product.
I can not recommend to buy products without a world wide warranty.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef 3" Mini BC Knife:

I dive regularly, recreationally and work. I needed an inexpensive BC knife that if I lost it. It wouldn't hurt to bad. It is a nice unit for the money. It's not a $150 knife, but it serves the purpose.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef 3" Mini BC Knife:

Although a knife that comes out of its sheath too easily is bad because it will get lost, this knife is hard to take out when you WANT it out. So that is a disadvantage.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef 3" Mini BC Knife:

This is a good little knife, however, next time I'll spend the extra money and pick up the Titanium. I used this recently on a 1 week trip to Roatan, logging 25 dives that week, I came back with a fully rusted knife. It was washed (sheath and knife) after every dive. That seemed too little too late. For the price you can't go wrong as a back-up knife, but it does rust quickly. Two heavy dive trips max. before it becomes more dangerous than worth while.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef 3" Mini BC Knife:

i just bought this diving knife(Blue Reef 3" Mini BC Knife) in your store last July 2007 and used it once on the same month, but today i noticed some rusts around every holes. This shouldn't be because it's stainless made.

Comments about Blue Reef Blue Reef 3" Mini BC Knife:

This a great little knife. It is sharp, comfortable and comes with adapters for mounting to your BC or low pressure hose. The release can be difficult to operate with gloves on, but I have found that I can just grab it firmly and pull it from the scabard without damaging the release. One caution though... make sure you take it out, wash and dry it soon after diving. It will start rusting in a day if you don't. Still, for the price, this is a really good deal for a general purpose or backup knife.
