Promate Knives | Scuba Dive Tools
Promate, “The Ultimate Diving Gear Company,” sells a full line of scuba and snorkeling equipment including its own brand of divers’ knives. Divers may choose between several practical knife builds specially designed by Promate for underwater work. One of Promate’s best knives recently received a publicity boost when chosen by survival expert Bear Gryllis for use during the filming of his popular TV survival series.
Company History
Promate System Corp incorporated rather recently, beginning operations in 2000 in El Monte, California. Promate employees design, manufacture and distribute diving gear and diving accessories, with divers’ knives as a small part of their total production effort. Promate’s policy is to create and market affordable but reliable divers’ tools, making the diving experience accessible to anyone, and providing high quality gear to ensure a safe diving adventure.
Knives
Promate offers divers’ knives for sporting applications and for heavy underwater work. The Promate Alligator knives feature sharp tips designed for penetration and self defense, but include practical features like hammer plates at the base of the grip. The divers’ knives come with secure sheaths that hold the knives safely in all positions. Divers choose between lightweight and low maintenance titanium knives or more economical but less corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Promate also offers combinations of the two materials, so it’s possible to buy a knife with a titanium blade and a heavy stainless steel hammer pommel, or a light all-titanium build. Promate also designs knives with blunt tips and with line-cutter hooks in the spine of the blade. Smaller Promate knives would make good choices for kayakers and canoeists looking for compact emergency knives that tolerate wet conditions.
Where to Buy
Plain Blade w/ Cord Cutter, Scuba Diving Sheath

In saltwater conditions, titanium outperforms stainless steel, offering edge retention and blade ...
Line Cutter
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 knife is coming from. ...
Barracuda Sharp Tip Scuba Diver
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 best you'll find in a ...
Folding ProMate Seal Diver
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 other hand, you'd ...
