Not the best choice for diving
By Doctor.Generosity
This is a good size 8.3" folder with a salt-corrosion resistant blade, good yellow-green visibility and a comfortable non-slip handle. Great for camping around salt water.However, I can't recommend this (or any folder) for diving. A dive knife is primarily for emergencies. It should be accessible with one hand; you will not be able to unfold this with gloves. It should have a blunt tip. And it should have a hook to rip a line or netting or a tangled hose. Finally, it should be very strong. I question the strength of the joint of this folder where blade joins handle. Only about 1/2" of steel sits inside the handle when locked. If one would try to pry sideways with the blade in an underwater emergency such as escaping from a rock pinch, it could break right off.Benchmade's fixed blade dive knife of the same steel with a hook is a lot better choice. Or a titanium dive knife for about the same price. Keep this one for backpacking.
