Here's one way to recycle a worn or damaged suit.

I've been wanting to try this for a while, because while rubber knife straps are fine over a wetsuit, I find them uncomfortable on bare skin. This sleeve was made by cutting the calf portion off a damaged suit, and using the knee pad to form the knife pocket. It's really comfortable, easy to slide around into the best position, and fits my upper arm nicely if I want to wear it there.

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to try it out this weekend, and report back.

Very practical, hope it works well for you, let us know.
 
Very nice looking. Too bad that in my waters it never gets warm enough to go spearing without a wetsuit...
 
Woo Hoo! I got a chance to try my new knife sleeve this weekend, and I really love it. Even on bare skin, I completely forget that it's there. And it fits fine over my wetsuit as well, so I can use it anytime.
 
nice one! i used the cuff of an old wetsuit as a watch protector, i just cut a hole in it. it lasted me 10 years of diving, it has only just become threadbare.
