I like the first one and since my accident, I discovered the rescue crew nicked my dive knife :-( All other gear was saved (and my tahiti of course rode with me to the hospital!!)
I like the first one... anybody got any preferences for knives (I do scuba as well!)

Currently looking for one. I don't like big dive knives. Currently I have a nice serrated Buck Skinner (later model - 420 stainless) and a very nice Boker Ceramic folder - neither of which is really made for freediving. Unless you are regularly prying stuff (abalone etc.) I'd think a point would be more practical - esp the very sturdy 'tanto' style point this one has.

The Hammond (thread opener) is AUS8 steel - which is very good hard steel and also quite corrosion resistant
The gerber is a 400HC steel - a little softer than the aus8 - but also more corrosion resistant. Not sure about the spora - but that is too specialized a knife for me - though it looks good for spearfishing.

I use a Riffe knife and after finding it after losing it for 3 weeks its now trucking strong...always remeber to keep the rubber thing around the handle or no kinfe!!
I have been a user of CRKT products though and love them; if I end up losing the Riffe for good Id sure give them a whirl. Good call on these Murat, as I didnt realize CRKT made dive knives. Hope all is well, Justin

I picked up one of the CRKT Hammond ABC operators. Very well designed - made with aus8 steel - titanium coated. The design is very practical with long serrated surface on one side - and a regular blade on the other. The design runs the thickest part through the center of the blade, and the tanto style point makes it very sturdy. Very well designed knife across the board - and perfect size and shape for diving/spearfishing. I like the long very slightly curved cutting surface - makes it really practical for underwater-type applications. The serrations are just the right size too. Got it for $38 new from Northwoods Innovations on ebay.
The sheath is also perfect for diving; tightness can be adjusted (how hard it is to get the knife out) with screws and it can be worn in any conceivable way.

The thing seems perfectly designed. It's not as much of a stilletto as some of the specialized speero knives - but the balance and handle design are perfect. If you press on the very back of the handle the pressure is transmitted perfectly to the tip of the blade.
It has the feel of a very sturdy and practical tool. The sheath design is also perfect for diving. No 'O' rings or buttons or anything and no way it could fall out by accident. pretty much flawless - thanks for pointing it out.
