I'm considering getting a titanium dive knife and have some questions for anybody out there who has an opinion:
I've heard that a medium-sized knife (8 or 9 inches total length) is better for most diving applications because it's not unwieldy (wouldn't want to puncture that BCD or your wings!), and I certainly agree (no need to feel like Rambo). Problem is, most of my online research shows that there really aren't too many medium-sized titanium knives out there -- most seem to be 10" or more. Am I missing something? Any recommendations?
The next question is much more specific: I know that a good knife will have a line-cutting notch in the blade. Some knives have the notch on the serrated edge of the blade, others on the smooth edge. Any opinions about which is the better placement of the notch?
Thanks!
