Best Titanium Dive Knives Buying Guide
Blade Material
Compared to stainless steel models, those with titanium blades have much superior resistance to the corrosive effects of salt water, won’t rust, and are lighter. They also hold a sharpened edge longer needing sharpening less frequently but can be more difficult to get a sharp edge on originally. Titanium is also more expensive than stainless steel.
Size
It should be big enough for the tasks you might encounter, but not so big as to be a hindrance to carrying and storing on your body or equipment. Diving knives generally have a blade length in the range of 3 to 6 inches. That is a manageable size for most tasks like cutting through netting or rope without being too bulky.
Edge
Knives come with straight and serrated edges. Serrated edges can be more effective on tougher materials where a sawing action can be used. A number of knives have both. In addition, a wire or rope cutter notch is an effective component that can be included.
Handle Butt
At the base of the handle, a protruding extension of metal (in this case titanium) is often built-in. In some cases, this can be configured to be usable as a hammer. Otherwise, it can serve as an attention-getting tank banger.
Tip
Diving knives come with sharp-pointed tips or something blunter. Blunter tips can be used as a screwdriver or prying tool, while at the same time posing less danger of poking a hole in your BCD (or you) if mishandled.
Attachments, Sheaths, and Holders
Some diving knives have a folding design making them easy to store in a pocket or on a clip. Other non-folding versions need a sheath that can be attached to your person or equipment. Many divers prefer mounting on the calf or thigh with straps. It is possible to effectively attach some models on the wrist or arms or even the BCD which some divers find makes it more accessible. The knife in the sheath should be placed such that it does not snag on the passing environment or other equipment. It should also come with a mechanism that holds the knife securely in place when not in use but can be easily drawn when needed. A diving knife can be great for emergencies like entanglement or as a handy tool for specific tasks. Choose the model with the size, characteristics, and configuration for your purposes.
Knife Care & Maintenance
- Rinse thoroughly in fresh water after each dive.
- Dry it completely.
- Apply a thin layer of grease or oil before putting it back into the dry sheath or storage area.
