The arm-mounted Omer Mini laser, handy and sharp, is great. But only IF you carry two knives, as i do for more safety.
A diveknife is not only for dispatching fish, but also to get you out of trouble in case on entanglement. Moments of panic: you get tangled, grab your knife to cut, but it drops from your hand: you're DEAD. No, wait, you're not dead: you have a second knife!
That's why I carry the Cressi Killer on the belt and the Mini Laser on the left arm.
Of course I can draw the Mini Laser only with my right hand. That's why I carry two. (What if my leg is tangled and my right hand is stuck or wounded, so that I can't grab the mini-laser?).
PARANOIAAAAAA!!!!!

You call me paranoid just because my knife is bigger than yours? And what's wrong with quoting oneself? Afterall, who, but the author can appreciate the depth of a saying most and elaborate on it to make others understand the full meaning of it?

Maybe we should reevaluate before this descends into that scene from Crocodile Dundee...
(you know the one I mean - first to reply with the quote gets 10 points).

[Mr. X]

You mean: "You call that knife....Thats not a knife, this is a KNIFE..."

Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean "they" aren't watching you.

Of course, having two lumpy knives strapped to your otherwise stream-line seal-like neoprened exterior actually makes it more likely that you will snag something.

The French & Italian alpinists are famous for their lightweight, uncluttered, stream-lined approach to climbing. Carrying small, simple tube sacks with exterior straps & extras cut off to reduce weight. Belaying from a single anchor point - often a piton with just an HMS carabiner for belaying (with an Italian Hitch or waist belay) . They reduce danger by moving fast & reduce the need for equipment by getting off the mountain the same day. Unlike Americans, who can usually afford lots of fancy gear & gizmos and like to carry them round in RV sized sacks with lots of bits and pieces hanging off the outside. (Pioneering but financially challenged Brits like Joe Brown & Don Whillans travelled light - 2-up by motorbike to the alps!) Think: "what would Walter Bonatti have done?"

hyeparis, can you tell us something about that elaborate knife? Looks like it might have been the Tzar's dress sword!

Spoke to a Metropolitan police detective recently and he reckons serious knife crime is rife in UK cities now. They are looking to clamp down hard on it. Anybody know details of the current laws? Age restrictions on purchase, a carry limit on blade length of 3" and, perhaps, then only if you have a good reason (fishing?). There are always some sh!theads that have to spoil it for the rest of us (youth gangs, as well as the govt.).

2 Mr. X. Thank you for asking the question.
It is actually a traditional Dagestani daggar made in Kubachi, a village in the Northern Caucasian republic of Dagestan, which does nothing but daggers and other metal works, such as sabres, but also bows, etc. in line with their centuries-old tradition.
This one is ceremonial and has a lot of engravings, so it is not mean for use, only for wearing with the traditional Dagestani folk attire. Russian Tsars when dressed in Cossack uniforms, which look very similar to a folk attire of a Dagestani (or most of other NC peoples for that matter), would wear such daggars too.
I proud myself in pioneering use of these daggars underwater and get a lot of respect from other Caucasian spearos cause my knife is usually bigger than theirs.

[Marwan]

hyeparis, i m sorry i thought you were joking the first time, you really use this underwater? how do you carry it, what kind of fish do you dispatch with it? seems too big for comfort underwater, easy to tangle lines, hit rocks on the bottom etc..., also is the material sturdy enough not to rust? i think its more of a sword not a knife...

Ooh ooh, how exciting. What's the prize...let me guess: 2 weeks all expenses paid spearing trip to Mozambique, a RIB with engine and £2000 voucher for spearing equipment Or ...could it be sweet FA?

[deep thinker]

MrX last time I checked the first prize was a icecream toaster
As for the knive laws in the UK check out British Blades forums, its a knive making forum and as far as I know its now completely illegal to own a japanese sword in the UK unless its a original and also a collectors item and classified as such and that also sounds to be on the way out so next time leave your broadsword at home when you go to clean your fish by the pond
