Just did some testing on some tow rope webbing i have, similar to diving webbing but a little thicker.
The trilobite was crap, until the webbing was pulled tight and i pulled very hard on it, not ideal if i was in a panic situation.
When it did finally bite into it though it sliced through it very quickly.
Next was the blunt nosed aqualung squeeze knife i have, the line cutter on it failed to do anything, but the serrated edge cut into it without it having to be particularly tight and with a sawing motion managed to cut through it rather quickly.
I think i'm going to look for something with a serrated edge thats easy to grab onto. The spyderco salt 2 wharncliff looks great and got rave reviews from scubalab, but doesen't appear to have any sheath/come with any sheath so i'll have to investigate what to do about that, and maybe a trilobite in a flex mount on the shoulder.
