... but consider how you will need to use it. I believe that prying is much more likely a task than poking, and prying with a pointy knife just breaks off the point. So I recommend a blunt knife. Self-defense isn't an issue, because 1. sharks don't attack divers, and 2. poking one will just piss it off. If your shark-attack plan is to stab your buddy and swim away, then slicing will work better than stabbing anyway...

LOL...Thats some funny stuff!!!

Wear what you like and what your comfortable with...I use a blunt tip Tusa X-Pert thats four tools in one i.e. saw, line cutter, blunt tip, and blade.

Nothing like reviving an old dead thread. LOL Sometimes you have to look at the date of the last post there mate. In this case it was December 2nd, 2004. Nothing wrong with contributing but when there hasn't been a post to a thread in nearly 4 years you're just wasting key strokes. :shocked2:

Cheers,

mate have a look at the victory blunt tip its all good and fits the above requirements.

"this knife is not designed for cutting the things a normal diver needs to cut...It won't help you much with fishing line, kelp (if you can't just break it), prying things, etc.

Get something that has a blunt tip, and has a line cutter..
