Cutting devices

[DEEP SEA]

When I dive around a jetty or rocks, I like to find anchors. You first see a rope which usually leads to chain then the anchor. Sometimes a knife or scissors can't cut the rope. Other times it is easier to unscrew the shackle. Having a pair of pliers and dikes really come in handy!:idea:

Sea Snips (EMT shears) clipped to my BC harness just below the shoulder on my right side.

I have a two hand broad sword strapped to a sheath next to my tank.

Just kidding..

I use a 5 inch serrated on one end, sharp on the other.

Nice blunt handle too so i can bang my tank if necesssary.

So far, haven't needed it much except to chop up some food for a fish feeding frenzy..

Its always nice to have a reliable broad sword at your side, you never know when you might have blue faced sea-scots attacking you

I like my shears. They're usable one handed and will cut through most anything. I do have a large blunt tipped dive knife, but I don't strap it on very often.

A small BC mounted 3", blunt tip knife and shears.

Actually, I'd say that EMT shears are the regular ones and the big springloaded ones are the exception. However, I do agree that EMT shears are much more popular. I've got both on my website for a good price. You also should be able to find them at your LDS. I will ship to Canada, even though my FAQ page says I'm US only.

I dive in cold water - are the finger holes on the EMS shears roomy enough to fit thick-gloved fingers?
