Diving Knives, Swords and Blades

This 3.75-inch blade is composed of 420J2 steel - good for stain resistance and toughness. The amount of time this knife spends submerged in salt water won’t quickly spoil the blade quality. It is blunt tip and plain edged, with a serrated spine …

This Kershaw Amphibian water sports knife is a bold statement. It’s an attractive knife, with a serious and stealthy design, one sure to get some attention from fellow divers and kayakers.

At only 7 3/4-inch total length and weighing in at 3.2 ounces, stored in its …

I have mixed feelings about this Schrade Water Rat dive knife.

First the good feelings: I think the orange nylon handle is attractive, decently sized (4.1-inches), and easy to grip. It is also available in black, which looks good with any diver’s gear. The orange, though, …

Promate sells all sorts of diving/scuba equipment and accessories - they do not specialize exclusively in knives. This is an important place to start my review because any prospective buyers of the Alligator Sharp Tip Dive Knife, or any knife, should know exactly where that …

The U.S. Divers 4.5-inch Sabre dive knife can be summed up into just one word: average. This knife does not have any spectacular features or any significant faults - what you would expect for the price. The Sabre’s blade is 420 stainless …

I like the way this dive knife looks. It’s important to have reliable gear, but let’s face it, scuba diving is a lot about style — especially for the casual scuba enthusiast. Why else would there be a selection of snorkel and mask colors, or different …

U.S. Divers is one of America’s oldest dive companies and has been equipping scuba divers, snorkelers, and skin divers with their gear for over fifty years. They know the business of serious diving. This full tang, titanium, clip point, 5-inch straight-blade dive knife …

Here’s a bigger, badder Barracuda! OK, it’s technically not any bigger in size than the stainless steel Barracuda by ProMate, but it’s much stronger, and boasts a higher quality than its sibling.

That’s because it has a 5-inch blade made from solid titanium, and that’s about the …

This is a less expensive titanium knife from ProMate, called the Seal. It’s less expensive because it’s from a low-profile maker and it’s a folding knife.

It’s give-and-take. On one hand you’d have the strength of a titanium blade in a compact package in your favor. But on the …

While this may not be the strongest or sturdiest diving knife available, it’s certainly not a bad deal, or a bad product for that matter. The Barracuda would be an acceptable choice to carry with you on your next scuba excursion, no question.

If you’re looking for something a bit sturdier …

This is a pretty slick diving knife from Underwater Kinetics (or “UK” as they’re known to those in the know).

Diver’s knives should be rugged, lightweight, corrosion-resistant and versatile. This knife is all four.

Titanium is generally recognized as one of the best materials for …

Check out the picture of this one. That’s a mean looking shark back there.

If you plan to do battle with that dude, I do not recommend you use this knife at all. In fact, if you are looking for a high-end dive knife, this is not it. Perhaps …

If you’re going to come face to face with a shark, make sure you get a good knife, okay?

And if you’re going to spend this much on a diver’s knife, you’d better make sure you’re getting what you pay for.

In this case, it’s quite a …
