Blunt tip, pointed tip, serated, straigh, sheers...?

Here is a couple of Items that you may like to check out. I use both, and found the combination to work quite well for most things. Also keep in mind if you dive in a cold climate, and wear gloves, smaller knives and line cutters may be difficult to handle.

you won't be stabbing anything unless your spearfishing.

I use an Aeris silverjack, I think that's what it's called...anyways it's small. blunt, has a line cutter, and serrated. the best part is how it's made from one solid piece of steel, won't break as easily if prying. and it has great rubber grips.
