Re: Which of these ...Knives

Titanium Rules. No rust and stays super sharp. Over a year now, and my knife is still like the day i got it. I use it to brain fish mainly and cut mono if necessary.

Re: Which of these ...Knives

That's the good part - it does stay sharp, but where did you sharpen it, may I ask?
Mine arrived dull

Mine arrived super sharp and is still the same way. I can do the paper cut test after 1 year of stoning fish. Not a stain on the blade. No rust or anything.

Re: Which of these ...Knives

The omer mini laser doesn't come with rubber straps hyeparis, Im guessing your thinking of a different knife. It comes with the sheath fitted to a velcro strap for your arm, i personally unscrewed the sheath from the velcro arm 'thingy' and have the plastic sheath threaded directly onto my weight belt.

Cheers Ian

Re: Which of these ...Knives

Best place for the mini laser in my opinion. That strap wouldn't stay put on my forearm and kept sliding down onto my wrist. I don't like that locking mechanism either, you have to double check the thing to make sure the knife will still be there next time you look.

Re: Which of these ...Knives

grt advice it seems as many good knives as spearos toting them!

What I want is stilletto type to iki jime, serration a plus, line hook is great and one hand operation-in/out, with a click- ideal- the wenoka (first & second knives on my list seems like the have all these features, the catch is the sharpening (which greek seems to have answered) and the bending I have heard has happened with wenoka- has anyone heard or has had any experience with this bending the blade issue???

Seacidal can you post a link to that d-r grt white i'm curious to see it

Strangelove, I hear you brother- thats why I used the the screwdriver

Janner the omer mini was high on my list I really like it espcecially the harness and locking mech- just think its a tad too small- as a back up it might be golden!

Re: Which of these ...Knives

I like the Hammond ABC by CRKT - very stout and practical.



I have a Mini-Laser - I replaced the strap with a wide elastic band with velcro closures - works perfectly.

Re: Which of these ...Knives

No problem.
This thing excels at cutting kelp and gill rakers, which are the two primary reasons I carry it. It's also great for clearing off the anchor when it seems that half the kelp bed came up with it.

The serration pattern is wicked. Others are similar, but don't quite match up. Certainly not at the same price. I drill a hole through the handle and tie on some bungie cord for a lanyard. This also serves to loop over the sheath-end to help prevent losing the knife.

The only drawback is the sheath. As it wasn't intended to be a dive knife, but rather a deck/net knife for fishermen, the sheath is not up to snuff for divers. It can be modified with a little bungie cord and some creativity. But the knife can be bought without the sheath. Saves a couple bucks. I made up a sheath from some old nylon weight belt material, and stitched it up to fit. Works great.

You can get these knives for under $10 each. I buy them by the dozen, and replace it every year. They're cheap enough that I don't mind so much if I lose it or snap the blade. Which is quite hard to do.

I've spoken with a couple of knife manufacturers about developing a spearfishing dagger that would incorporate this Great White edge on one side, with a standard blade on the other. Perhaps with some luck, we'll be seeing something along these lines soon.

You should be able to find them at commercial fishing supply houses. I still carry a dagger, but for the price and the performance they deliver, I'll be carrying this as a strong second for some time.

Re: Which of these ...Knives

I use this knife for spearing and I must say Im very happy with it, its got a super sharp point and a serated edge with hook on one side. Perfect for all my needs.
The sheath is a bit hight profile but I wear it on my arm and have never even almost lost it or had any problems with it snagging.

LOL Seacidal, the way you had described the knife it sounded like a MONSTER of a blade, so here I was expecting a small machete/hand saw- and I see this little thingy. In all honesty though the knife seems like a very functional tool. The serration does look wicked, and for $10 you can't go wrong, with a few minor alterations that knife could be an excellent speros knife!!! thx for posting

STILL WONDERING if anyone has had any problems with the wenoka knives, as it seems this will be the knife that I'm most likely going to purchase

Re: Which of these ...Knives

yeah, i also reckon the cheapest is the best.
currently use a 'Frost Knives' Knife, and have it attached to my weight belt. cost about €10, but i did add in a bungie to make sure it is retained!
