Dive Knives

Today in class we were discussing the different types of dive knives and their uses. Of course there were lots of personal opinions concerning this subject and so I thought I would put it out there to the working diver and find out what you preferred. What works best out there? Fixed blade, folding blade... etc. What are the pro's and con's? What are your recommendations? I've heard that a lot of guys are using the Spydercos and the Green Rivers.

i believe they're as good as or better than what they say or what you've heard. it's really an investment and they'll last forever if you know how not to lose them.

i carried one in my pocket as a tender, had 2 or 3 in my tool bag for backup. as a diver, i carry 2 on my dive harness, 2 on my standby harness and one in my jeans pocket in general.

any knife that is easily reached and cuts well that you wont cry about if it doesnt float or come back when you throw it.

I usually have a spyderco tucked up each sleeve of my wetsuit and my mk-5 knife on my harness. The mk-5 knife is 3 tools in one, knife, hammer, and weight.

2 Backstabbers- one on the harness, one down the boot. Serrated kitchen devil in the toolbag. ideally, a safety knife (one of those hook ones) in the toolbag for cutting off the paper suits, if they're being worn.

Old school - Morse MK V dive knife. War horse, so much more than a knife, lasts forever. Absolute must for hardcore divers.
