Comments about Wenoka Wenoka "Big Squeeze" Lock Titanium Knife, Tanto Tip:
Overall this is a great knife. It is well-constructed, has a very sharp straight-edge and an excellent serrated edge. The locking mechanism is THE BEST; both in terms of locking security and ease of release--really, the locking/release mechanism is perfect. As others have mentioned, the straps aren't very good--I replaced them with the straps from my Riffe Silencer which are much better. Also, the handle is a little thin. This is good for making the knife lower profile, but makes the knife not as easy to handle with 5mm gloves as I would like (it's not difficult to handle, but not quite as easy as I would like). I have had a few dive knifes and this one stands out as being overall the best.

The strap buckles loosen off during the dive, they could hold better.

I bought this as a gift for my son (he's the rec diver), & the first one I received had a small defect. [...]While not a diver, I am a knife guy, & this unit looks to be top notch for the application.Excellent product [...]

Comments about Wenoka Wenoka "Big Squeeze" Lock Titanium Knife, Tanto Tip:
This is a great overall knife! I carry it with me on every dive whether I am spearfishing or pleasure diving. I have had it for a year and have logged approx. 50 dives with it, not a spec of rust! Just rinse with water and let dry. I liked the knife enough to buy my dive buddy the exact same one! The slim profile does not allow the knife to become snagged. I use the knife for many use topside as well i.e. bottle opener! I would recommend this knife to any diver.

Comments about Wenoka Wenoka "Big Squeeze" Lock Titanium Knife, Tanto Tip:
This is a REALLY great knife at a super price.
No matter if you're wearing gloves or not, it's easy to disengage this knife from the sheath with one hand. LOVE IT! Thanks Leisurepro!

Comments about Wenoka Wenoka "Big Squeeze" Lock Titanium Knife, Tanto Tip:
Both serrated and conventional sides cut ropes (nylon, polyprop, sisal, 3/4") in half the strokes needed with my IST K01 titanium. Also ridiculised my Coltri-sub Pacific Shears (in knife mode). Only the shears in cisor mode cut faster than the Big Squeeze. As for small knives, my test says they're not the kind of backup I want when I need backup...
Also the best holster I tried or can think of.
Faster than light!

Comments about Wenoka Wenoka "Big Squeeze" Lock Titanium Knife, Tanto Tip:
This knife is top-of-the-line in every way. From the well-designed titanium blade to the low-profile handle and the simple, intuitive, safe and secure sheath lock, you just can't find anything better.
There are a few things not everyone will like, though: First, it ain't cheap. Second, to keep the small size, the fingerguard is minimal, increasing the risk of slipping towards the blade. For the same reason, the grip is flat and relatively smooth, not chunky and grippy like a larger knife. The military-looking gray blade is non-reflective, and thus hard to find if dropped. Ditto, it won't flash like a mirror either. And last, if you're looking for a 'Warlord of the Deep' short sword, this knife will be *much* too small and light for your tastes.
Overall, if this isn't the dive knife for you, you should be (or already are) using specialized underwater tools, not this near-perfect general-purpose knife.
