Well, it is rather phallic.
I agree with Strangelove. Cheap knives last forever, fancy ones tend to get lost. I use a knife that is widely available on the web with various names like stingray, economy spearo knife, etc. they cost about £7 depending on where you get them. I think one of the Guernsey spearos uses one too -- thought I saw one in a pic (OMD perhaps?). They are flat daggers & come with a firm clamp sheath although I use the excellent Rob Allen Limpet sheath instead (no clips or clamps to come undone - super product). Spearo dave suggested a Kitchen Devil knife & some hose for a sheath. Not sure if he was joking but I was looking at some in store this morning & they do look very sharp (much better than normal) and are reasonably priced & fairly flat too.
My mother gave me an old vegetable knife recently after seeing me checking it over: 4"-ish slim, pointed stainless steel blade (slightly longer than an Omer Mini Laser or Hunter). The blade appears to be serrated on one side and a plain sharp edge on the other but when you turn it over, it you can see that each edge is plain on one side & serrated on the other - odd design. I would not use it as my main knife but I might carry it as a spare on my arm or float.
Hyeparis, what do you need to sharpen Titanium knives? I've seen diamond coated stones demonstrated, they look very effective - not cheap but not super-expensive.
