Instead of forking out for titanium, just lubricate a steel knife. I wash mine only once a year when I replace the grease, I never dry it, and it's still not rusty. Also, everyone knows the size of the knife is directly indicative of diving skill. All those teensy tiny blunt blades are for n00bz! Real pros dive with full dual-wield swords!
I dive with two knives, a Tusa Imprex X-pert II mounted on the inside of my left calf, and an XS Scuba Mini Fogcutter on the right shoulder of my BC. I learned to dive in the California Channel Islands and the whole area is basically one giant entanglement hazard, so all my gear is optimized for not getting tangled (reg is mounted upside down, for example) and getting myself untangled when it happens.
Interesting breakdown. The spiderco h1 dive knifes are awesome. I about 100 SW dives with it and almost no rust. The edge is still sharp (ok I sharpen it some).
I have to agree on selecting the new Aqualung Squeeze knives for this video. They are really comfortable to hold, easy to use, and have multiple attachment options. I also agree that they need the titanium version in a blunt tip...like, I want this knife in titanium so bad but really would prefer it in blunt tip. Any word on if that will be offered soon? If they won't be offering it I will likely buy the stainless steel small squeeze blunt tip as it still got a top rating from ScubaLab as far as being rust resistant after being left in saltwater for 24 hours.
"Scuba Pro" titanium dive knife won't become rusted for lifetime, maintenance free, no need for lubrication... I hv been using it since 1996 until now. Highly recommended. It comes in 2 sizes. Big one n small one.
While titanium knives do not rust like the steel ones, you fail to mention the inferior edge holding of the material and how much more difficult it is to reform the edge once it is lost. Stainless might need to be washed occasionally but its easy to sharpen and even with use it stays sharp. I would argue that's a better trade off than a knife that doesnt have rust patches but couldn't cut butter.
Plz, hv a close peep over the quality titanium blade, the joint n comfortable grab holder, particularly the asbestos rubber material, plus firm palm grab which impossible to lost the blade part in the depth. Quality speaks louder... cow n goat both have horns...🌝
Soon clothes pins will be outlawed in England... You's guys are trip...Great youtube Scuba info bro. but you're making my skin crawl with the tinsey bit vernacular...
My only tip is that you should scratch out the H1 symbol with your finger nail. The symbol is carbon and what makes the blade rust free is the fact that it's carbon free. So the H1-symbol might rust XD
I have one H2 (they don't have access to H1 steel anymore). They're amazingly rust proof, and with a serrated edge you can cut through pretty much any rope.
i thought a dive knife had only one real purpose,stabbing sharks that got to close.Might there be a video i could be directed to that would have a knife comparison from the shark stabbing angle?
I've got the Aqualung squeeze knife and it is very ergonomic, but it comes absolutely blunt, it wouldn't cut butter let alone line! With the serrations it is also quite tricky to sharpen without a sharpening stone.
Hii... Mr. Jimmy... I like NZ as well as my dive knive. We pay the price for quality. It's time to head to Scuba Pro Titanium for entanglement in spite of butter. We are not suppose to kill a shark by a dive knife... 🌝
@@oceandiver327 A sharp knife is a safe knife. The blade should cut through the object with minimal pressure. That keeps the knife from shooting through when it does cut the object. I'm personally a huge fan of the EezyCut Trilobite. I have several of them. I also carry one Spyderco Salt 2 folding knife with a serrated edge, and one pair of trauma shears.
As usual I love you're vids! Personally I use and love my aqualung big squeeze with flattip... But even tho Iam anal about my stuff it rust relatively easy where the stainless steel goes into the handle... Now Iam coating it after rinsing and drying with a special gun oil (frog lube) and now it always smells winterfresh! 😎 Greetings from France!
If you want to cut knife crime let’s work on the idolising of gangsta rappers as having role models that are rebel criminal heroes should not be seen as strength.blood clart ting homie ya get me. As for knives I’d be dead twice now if I had not had a knife & in fact one wouldn’t go through rope round my manifold so I used the bigger one so 2 knives as they are losable & the straps keep the air out of my drysuit legs anyway.i prefer ones with sheers as you can’t slice fishing tracer wire.i do stab fish but a blunt tip works for that so I grind the tip off for safety.i coat the knives in a layer of silicone grease to rust proof it.

As an American should I look into getting a dive gun?😂
You mean a dive bayonet for our government mandated dive rifles? Lol
I got myself a Hogue dive knife with an amazing sheath. Very happy with it
Ive been waiting for this!!!! Thank you!!!!

Have you been using it since 1996, or have you been carrying it since 1996? If it's the latter, you might want to check the cutting edge.
Diving with massive kitchen knife
"Knives are controversial" yeah he's not from Texas
But with a knife that small how am I supposed to cut through the exhaust hoses of enemy divers?
You need to sneak up on them.

You can always tell whos never owned a produced and as only read a wiki.

How are knives controversial? Ban knives now! Then ban hammers, then sporks.
Also I have to agree with Ben Arthur below as the Spyderco H1 "Salt" knives are great folders and extremely rust resistant.
My only tip is that you should scratch out the H1 symbol with your finger nail. The symbol is carbon and what makes the blade rust free is the fact that it's carbon free. So the H1-symbol might rust XD
can micro squeeze knife attached properly to the wrist dive com?
As always great review! Thank you
You are all wrong. I use a 4 ft titanium samarui sword with a sheath made of wool
Knife does the job of cutting tool and more, cutting tool just cuts thin lines. Simple choice for me.
Love my Spyderco H1 knives (I have three!)
I have one H2 (they don't have access to H1 steel anymore).
They're amazingly rust proof, and with a serrated edge you can cut through pretty much any rope.

will the Aqualung Small Squeeze bolt on to the Scubapro Hydros Pro weight pocket?
lol knife crime, you doo you brittain,
like scissors than come in a pack or with a price plastic-stick/clip, *eye roll* now I need another knife/scissor to cut it loose !
I've got the Aqualung squeeze knife and it is very ergonomic, but it comes absolutely blunt, it wouldn't cut butter let alone line! With the serrations it is also quite tricky to sharpen without a sharpening stone.
Agreed. I got a SS one last year the edge on it was terrible. The setup is good but very crapily sharpened considering the price.

Don’t matter if I lose it.

What is going on in the UK that knives are spoken about like WMDs. Unreal. Anyway, thanks for the great review.
Salt water is very corrosive
Use your knive as a pose retainer. XD
You Britts make me sad. You all lost your freedoms and all for nothing. After you all end up banning knives what’s next?
Forks
For nothing? Crime would be a lot worse if everyone could legally carry any blade and kids could buy them unchallenged.
Hopefully the next step will be educating narrow minded people like you.
It proofs... stop argueing. For me, Scuba Pro Titanium is my first n last choice. Incomparable... !!!
I have been using to carry my dive knife wherever I go... so far so good, no problems.
Dive knives have gone full gay

The sorts that do knife crime are using stuff like kitchen knifes or machetes, nothing that high end
That first knife is just a gimmick. Thankfully they never took off.
A video on dive knives but no #flappysnaghazards
YOUR KNIFE LINKS ARE SCREWED-UP.
Empty words...
..in cheap commercial .
Technology gap...🌝
Great videos but Brits are hilarious with the knife BS. Brain washing is real.
