Erica Wong –
Is it suitable for underwater use? I want to use it for diving.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out, Erica. The Aropec Privet-S Stainless Steel BC Knife is designed for everyday carry, and while it’s a high-quality tool, we can’t confirm its suitability for underwater use without proper testing. However, its #420 Stainless Steel material is resistant to corrosion and might be suitable for certain water conditions. For diving purposes, we recommend verifying compatibility with your dive gear and consulting a professional before use.
