Salt 1 is my every day carry I work for a pool company and I'm literally in water all day. I used it on the boat, salt and fresh water knife has held up. Love that knife!
I had my biggest scare a few years ago when my dad took me freediving for the first time and gave me one of his dive knives for my belt. I stupidly pulled it out to look at it underwater and dropped it. We were only in shallow 30-40 foot depth but I was terrified at the knife sinking to the bottom. I saved it, but it's still a scary thought to lose his 100 buck knife then tell him about it.
Cheap is not best; that’s why it’s cheap. If you are clumsy and know it; use something more ‘disposable’, but don’t say it beats better equipment. I won’t knock someone on a budget. On the other hand I don’t need someone telling me my high end tool is a waste of money. To each their own.
Paul, while there may be nothing worse than watching that brand new 100 dollar blade drop, I would rather drop 10 expensive knives that trust my life to a 5 buck gas station special
Thanks for pointing that one out for us. Sometimes we miss things. It's just proof that we're a bunch of fallible humans over here. Seriously, thanks for keeping us straight. -Ben
4NHK0 right? I thought it was weird they said that. Besides that ceramic knives can be so much cheaper and basically disposable. Just cause their both rust proof doesn’t mean they’re the same
Yeah I have a titanium dive knife and it’s actually really good it was $50 ( on amazon so I’m surprised it’s even really titanium but I’m 99% sure it is) and I’ve used it on wood (normal and ply hard and soft) melons bottles lots and lots of lofa plants (quarantine life) and a few other things and I haven’t even had the edge roll on me and it’s a super nice knife overall just for the record it’s the promate lime pointy dive knife Here’s the link if anyone’s interested Promate Scuba Dive Snorkel Titanium Knife (4 3/8" Blade) with Straps and Sheath www.amazon.com/dp/B00DD78RJ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Og0MFb9SC6T70?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 So it really confuses me why everyone hates titanium knifes because I REALLY like them Oh and the scabberd is nice too although just for the record I have never actually gone diving so I can’t say how good a dive knife it is
Titanium chips if you try to sharpen it. That's what he meant, when he said by putting an edge on it. However if the edge is carbidized, you can sharpen it away. I have two mummert knives ti/tungsten carbide pieces and it's good stuff.
I love all of the knife banter episodes. I have a suggestion for an episode. You guys should do one focusing on Left-Handed knives. Im a southpaw, and finding knives that are left-hand friendly can be a challenge. I think it would be a great topic to cover! Keep up the good work!
Jeff G are you only thinking of folding knives? I’m ambidextrous, and each of my fix blades, dive knife, hunting knife, kayak knife, has worked beautifully in both hands, left and right.
The spyderco fish hunter is an amazing dive knife. That serrated H1 steel is worry free and its really convenient not to have to think about doing that bit of extra cleaning and oiling at the end of the trip just leave it in your boat for the next one no worries.
Spearfishing the past 15 years in CA I went through 10+ knives and experience taught me that The #1 criteria for a spearfishing knife is that it’s have to be CHEAP. You can dispatch a fish with literally any knife, material doesn't matter, the fish will not care if it’s rusty, you will not care either, what you will care about (and if you spearfishing it will happen) when your 200 dollar knife will get lost, and you realize that you can dispatch any fish with the tip of your spear.
xabalba555 - when you use knives out in the field, and use a knife to cut all sorts of things besides paper & food then serrated blades really shine. Even for food they’re great, go to any Steakhouse and look at the knife they give you to cut the steak with, Fully-Serrated. The founder of Spyderco knew what he was doing when he started producing multiple models with fully serrated blades.
Amen, I carry an Atlantic Salt every day. I also carry a non-serrated blade but serrations were an improvement over regular edges, they just cut better longer.
5:20 I once was killing and cleaning fishes with a 5" Muela stainless. Stabbed a carp just like in the vid, but due to the thicker geometry I didnt went all the way through and had to stab it deeper.. NEVER consider a fish is dead, doubletap it
Spyderco salt fixed blades are the best dive knives. Also, it’s great to see a video featuring a guy who actually uses his knives; we need more of those.
One unintended advantage of the Pacific Salt is lack of liner metal. You have an Endura sized knife that is 3 ounces. It's my backup/ larger knife in my EDC and I'll carry 2 knives but they'll weigh less than 5 ounces together.
I use a fixed blade that has serrations and a line cutter on one side and a regular blade on the other plus a hammer on the end of the handle. Having option to my knife is very beneficial for what I do. If you plan to dig or pry, a flat tip is nice. But if all you have is a $5 eBay knife, bring it. A cheap knife can cut you out of lines or nets and save your life. Never dive without one.
Having a sharp blade when free diving (snorkeling) is important because the only air you have is in your longs and that limits the time you have. I prefer to have a sharp point even when rafting. Usually I add just a bit of bungee cord to keep the Hultafors stainless knife in place more secure. I don't do this stuff that often any more and if I would most likely go for the H1 Spyderco but with a single edge. It's nice to see a video about diving knives. You don't see them often.
The Salt series with H1 steel is amazing, but I am curious why they do not use the same steel for screws pivot and liners? I noticed rust from the hardware.
One that has a lanyard on it. Other than that, it's up to personal preference (for myself, a "Bowie" style blade with a serrated spine and "gut hook" for sawing and quickly cutting ropes etc... and a WW I "trench" style handle that's magnetized. Which besides the lanyard, is just another thing to help it not be lost when dropped). A "hi-viz" color wouldn't hurt... just not one that is in the fish's sight spectrum. I'd stay away from colors that you might find on fishing lures lol...
Serrations have their purpose, but on most jobs they're horrible. Diving would be a place where serrations would be handy. If you need to cut free and break to the surface, the serrations will make quick work of the straps. Basically what I'm saying is while most of what I do (and have done) requires a straight blade, serrations have their place.
Luke Immel should really take a look at the NRS Neko Knife Specs Blade Material: 420 HC Stainless Steel Handle Material: Full metal tang with TPU overmold Sheath Material: Fiberglass-reinforced nylon Total Length: 6" Blade Length: 2.5" Weight: 3.5 oz Knife only Weight: 2.9 oz Blade Edge: Smooth and serrated Blade Tip: Pointed Features: Squared hole in handle serves as a valve wrench for an oxygen tank Bottle opener in handle
Andrew Greiner I'm not sure how so many people continue to support them. Their first album is one of my all time favourites, but trying to have your wife murdered is a pretty scummy thing to do.
Carbidized titanium knives can be amazing dive knives and require little to no sharpening for the life of the knife. Plus the carbide layer on the blade stiffens the edge and it cuts very aggressively due to micro serrations that are part of the carbide.
as 49Giants said, DB Blades made an awesome one. Unfortunately I don't know of any production carbidized titanium knives, however you can get a carbidizing set up for relatively cheap and do it yourself if need be.
Not necessarily, because the carbide will hold an edge longer, and will have zero rust. If you want a fine edge able to shave and push cut paper, then yes, but I doubt it would last nearly as long at cutting ropes and fish and whatever else you may encounter.
I dive about 30 to 40 days a year. while i have a couple higher end "Water knives" for in my kayak (one is the Spyderco Fish Hunter on here) all my dive knive are on the cheep end. Im a tech diver i sometimes dive to 90m on Trimix etc. But, sometimes theres 200m plus under me. I drop a $100 knife it is gone lol.
How in the world did you not include the NRS Pilot????? Specs Blade Material: 420 HC Stainless Steel Handle Material: Glass-reinforced polypropylene with TPR over mold Sheath Material: Fiberglass-reinforced nylon Total Length: 7.38" Blade Length: 3" Weight: 5.5 oz Knife only Weight: 3.5 oz Blade Edge: Smooth and serrated Blade Tip: Blunt Features: Matte finish on orange, blue and green handle models PVD coating on black handle model Rope cutting hook Glass-breaking point at handle end Square hole in handle doubles as a valve wrench for an Oxygen tank Bottle opener hole in handle
H1 does rust a bit at the laser marking for whatever reason and confirmed by Spyderco. I rather they didn’t use the marking make it completely rust proof.
❤️ loved this episode, I work on the water and rust resistant work knifes are the only type I would recommend for that kind of daily working environment. P.S serrated edges work the best on cutting marine rope in a hurry ....
it would be cool if the hoge's sheath hard Kevlar or some other cut resistant fabric to help prevent accidental stabbing when putting the blade back in the sheath. with the way y'all were talking, it sounds like that is an issue wile diving
I don't know if French or Spanish was used first but I've seen it used often in Spanish and only printed as "INOX" in French. INOX is short for inoxidable as in acero inoxidable or stainless steel. INOX is just as vague as the English term "stainless" so it can be a number of different steels.
dro2256 or it could also be a trademarked name for a certain company's steel which makes all these arguments plain silly. you guys are so smart but wont do a quick search to stop from looking like a dumbass.
I am actually looking into the Spyderco Fish Hunter. Knife itself seems great. Sheath?? Not so much. There is no provision for rubber straps to fix it to the leg or arm. Not so many spearos carry on the belt because the weights get in the way and drawing it feels akward. That is putting me off. I would rather have a plastic molded/injected sheath meant for strapping....
I was a commercial diver for 17 years and the only knife I kept on my harness were the Pacific Salts! Always kept 2 in case you lost one. I never had to replace one due to rust or corrosion.
I’m pretty surprised you didn’t do any talk about the AquaLung Squeeze series. They’re sort of the standard atleast on the east coast and the Great Lakes.
I've had a cheap serrated lock blade as a backup on my BC for years. The way I got around opening it with gloves on, is to use a zip tie through the top of the thumb hole. The locking tab makes a good thumb stud when you cut off the excess zip tie.
One exotic you missed is the WASP knife that used Co2 cartridges an you can kill a shark. I’m really surprised no one else has picked up on the CO2 injection knife besides WASP
John Mills because it's quite gimmicky. have you ever seen co2 cartridges deploy underwater? They don't deploy quite well. A few Australian troops died because the co2 cartridges in their emergency life vests couldn't deploy due to pressure.
Well some of us aren't afraid of sharks and know how to be around them...and don't want to stab one and attract more...and besides...don't disturb the natural surrounding is a great rule of thumb. Dive knives are mostly anti-entanglement tools, that is why many just use different kinds of cutters. Having a pointy knife could puncture your BCD. I use the Dragonfly™ 2 Salt™ FRN Yellow Hawkbill as an extra and my main is the Assist Salt™ FRN Yellow.
I have a generic Fixed blade my dad passed on to me for scuba had it for 20+ years and for tank taping I just have a bungy cord with a plastic ball on it, pull the ball and let go it's simple and it works.
“These folders are good in a boat because you’re in a boat”

I like that.... as opposed to being in the saltwater with toothy-smiled beasts.
I know what he means & i also know what you mean
mm yes
I have no use for a dive knife. I have blade lust for a dive knife.
wolfkat dragonfish blade lust.... 😍
I live in the middle of the desert... I want a dive knife anyway! 😅
@@joshglover2370 I live on an island. I use the dragonfly 2 salt (H1 steel) as my EDC.
Salt 1 is my every day carry I work for a pool company and I'm literally in water all day. I used it on the boat, salt and fresh water knife has held up. Love that knife!
Does the chlorine affect it in anyway?
Jensen Azotea chlorine hasnt affected the knife in any way
That spyderco fish hunter is so sweet. I've already lost a knife diving though so i only go cheap now. Sucks because i love nice knives...
Yeah this back round is super chill. The ambient noise is smooth. Matches the knife banter vibe..feel like I could listen for hours.
You guys hit about 5% of dives knives.... Cheap is best, nothing like seeing that $100.00 drop 200 ft to the bottom.
Maybe add a lanyard...
That’s why you don’t drop it
I had my biggest scare a few years ago when my dad took me freediving for the first time and gave me one of his dive knives for my belt.

Hey Blade HQ, just a quick tip: Inox isn't a specific steel, it's just a European way to say 'stainless'! Hope it helps...
Thanks for pointing that one out for us. Sometimes we miss things. It's just proof that we're a bunch of fallible humans over here. Seriously, thanks for keeping us straight. -Ben
It's also the word in french "inoxydable"
titanium will NOT chip, it's lot softer than steel, it will roll instead
4NHK0 right? I thought it was weird they said that. Besides that ceramic knives can be so much cheaper and basically disposable. Just cause their both rust proof doesn’t mean they’re the same
Yeah I have a titanium dive knife and it’s actually really good it was $50 ( on amazon so I’m surprised it’s even really titanium but I’m 99% sure it is) and I’ve used it on wood (normal and ply hard and soft) melons bottles lots and lots of lofa plants (quarantine life) and a few other things and I haven’t even had the edge roll on me and it’s a super nice knife overall just for the record it’s the promate lime pointy dive knife

the french word inoxidable (in short inox) just mean stainless

Yes!! Perfect timing. I need a new dive knife for spearfishing and wasn't too sure what to get. You guys never cease to amaze me
Just bought a h2o Benchmade last month. No longer discontinued and I love this knife for diving.
11:35 I am proud to be one of the minority who loves full serrations(though I admit my reasons for it are 80% aesthetic and 20% function)

Amen, I carry an Atlantic Salt every day. I also carry a non-serrated blade but serrations were an improvement over regular edges, they just cut better longer.
if it gets rusty just soak it in vinigga
gotta watch that hard R
yeet channel abandoned I got that ZNA reference
Haha love it
vinegar.... thats how you spell it kid dont use a lame joke cover the fact that ya cant spell lolz
5:20 I once was killing and cleaning fishes with a 5" Muela stainless. Stabbed a carp just like in the vid, but due to the thicker geometry I didnt went all the way through and had to stab it deeper..
NEVER consider a fish is dead, doubletap it
I think adding an adjustable paracord to a dive blade attached to the wrist while cutting is a safe idea to prevent loss of blade to the sea bed!
Spyderco salt fixed blades are the best dive knives. Also, it’s great to see a video featuring a guy who actually uses his knives; we need more of those.
That Fox Knives Tekno looks sick! I'm an avid hiker and fisherman, and soon kayaker and snorkeler, I think that one will suit my needs.
Just preordered my native 5 salt yesterday. I can’t wait to get it
One unintended advantage of the Pacific Salt is lack of liner metal. You have an Endura sized knife that is 3 ounces. It's my backup/ larger knife in my EDC and I'll carry 2 knives but they'll weigh less than 5 ounces together.
Hey man Magpul makes a water proof belt that’s 1.5 inches perfect for sheath knives while diving/ kayaking
Dylan Baxter so it's a water proof belt and my mora for me !
I use a fixed blade that has serrations and a line cutter on one side and a regular blade on the other plus a hammer on the end of the handle.

what the fuck lmao
The Salt series with H1 steel is amazing, but I am curious why they do not use the same steel for screws pivot and liners? I noticed rust from the hardware.
The ARK has the handle molded on, no hardware to rust. Too small for diving imo tho.
One that has a lanyard on it. Other than that, it's up to personal preference (for myself, a "Bowie" style blade with a serrated spine and "gut hook" for sawing and quickly cutting ropes etc... and a WW I "trench" style handle that's magnetized.

Wich dive knive should I buy?
The cheapest.
Kitchen knife. Just grind of the tip that it’s blunt.
Serrations have their purpose, but on most jobs they're horrible. Diving would be a place where serrations would be handy. If you need to cut free and break to the surface, the serrations will make quick work of the straps.
Basically what I'm saying is while most of what I do (and have done) requires a straight blade, serrations have their place.
I like this topic it's unique dive knives have specific criteria that must be met or there useless
For stainless steel, the standard is 13% chromium , which is why D2 is not stainless, D2 has 11% chromium.

This is awesome, knives for dives!
kershaw sea hunters and amphibians are so good too, was disappointed they didn't make the video
H1 does rust a bit at the laser marking for whatever reason and confirmed by Spyderco. I rather they didn’t use the marking make it completely rust proof.
Polish it off
The Ace I did and it removed the H hahah. So now it’s a splotchy “1” left over. Oh well.
❤️ loved this episode, I work on the water and rust resistant work knifes are the only type I would recommend for that kind of daily working environment. P.S serrated edges work the best on cutting marine rope in a hurry ....
7:15 WOW where can I see the full video?
Titanium works best for scuba if you don't mess around with it on land a nice edge will last years.
I'm a knife guy & I prefer my knives to have serrations, especially when I'm hiking in the woods
I still use my wenoka, for it has never failed
The Extrema ratio dicok or ultramarine are great diving knives

I got a chuckle out of that myself.
He needs to hand in his knife knut card. Everyone should know that Inox just means stainless but in French....
wow mr. smarty big brain. did you perhaps do some research and maybe find out that inox is also a trademarked steel manufacturer.
I don't know if French or Spanish was used first but I've seen it used often in Spanish and only printed as "INOX" in French. INOX is short for inoxidable as in acero inoxidable or stainless steel. INOX is just as vague as the English term "stainless" so it can be a number of different steels.

spyderco caspiansalt is perfect spearfishing knife.
H-1steel
tight and low profile sheeth
large index finger hole
please sell it again!
2 knives required for diving, flat tip for prying shellfish and a dagger for killing.

The benchmade 112 is in production as of 2020
I'd like to see something like that schrade in LC200N
Not crazy about underwater folders. With a drysuit I wear thick gloves and a folder is a little hard to manipulate.
Make a knife banter on knifes that patina the best
Benchmade 551H2O griptilian n680 steel is not in there??
Love those dive knives man,but so many more weren't shown man...oh and lots of knives Luke,but I got way more lol

I wait this video for so long Thank's You!!! Nice advices to chose my spearfishing knife !
Where's the Microtech LUDT? Lol
Great video. Fun stuff. But I think what we all want to know is, where is Ben and is he OK?
I've had a cheap serrated lock blade as a backup on my BC for years. The way I got around opening it with gloves on, is to use a zip tie through the top of the thumb hole. The locking tab makes a good thumb stud when you cut off the excess zip tie.
Ive noticed that most of the big knife distributors dont carry but a very small selection of dive knives if any at all.....
Tianium knives DO NOT chip, nor are they hard to resharpen, they are hard to manufacture but titanium is almost perfect for dive knives.
Hell yes... been waiting for this 1. Thanks for the upload✌🐯
Now i want to head to the coast.

That fish didn’t seem to enjoy being stabbed in the dome
I thought it had to have 14+% to be considered a stainless steel
Preston M That’s what I’ve read and heard.
Same. I’m guessing the 10% might be an old definitetion?
What do you think about ONTARIO MK 3 ? It is also diving knife used by NAVY Seals.
Been waiting for this vid forever!
As I lay dying!!! Hell yeah
