Yeo Ming Liang –
Knife is sharp and sturdy, feels comfortable to grip underwater. The sheath locking mechanism is secure, though it took me a bit of practice to get used to one-hand release.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your feedback, Mr. Yeo. We are glad you find the knife sharp and sturdy, and appreciate your point about the sheath mechanism—please let us know if you need any tips for easier release.
Nurul Hafizah –
May I know if this knife is suitable for saltwater diving without rusting?
Junhao Lo –
Hi Ms. Nurul, the knife is made from 304-grade stainless steel, offering good resistance to surface oxidation. However, we recommend rinsing it with fresh water and drying thoroughly after saltwater dives to prolong its lifespan.
Rajesh Kumar –
The built-in bottle opener came in handy on my recent boat trip. Blade length is just right, not too bulky for my dives. Only wish the serrated edge was a bit longer.
Imran Hanafiah –
