    Underwater Kinetics Blue Tang Blunt Tip Knife

    Is this a good all around knife? Any dealer near SF? or LA? I need a dealer that will take international credit card. But i'll ship the knife to a U.S. Address.

    If you're set on titanium, have a look at the old-style Halycon knives or the OMS titanium knife

    If you're worried about cutting yourself removing it from the sheath, consider some trauma shears or a cutting tool like the Trilobite eezycut or Benchmade rescue hook 5 - any of which will be cheaper than a titanium knife

    They all have their pros and cons

    id rather go with stainless... Im a knife guy and i've never felt that having a titanium knife justifies corrossion resistance vs. sharpness
