I know bucks have been used as dive knives before, but I have never seen a specialized dive knife by buck.
I was browsing youtube yesterday and found this video.

The knife is obviously not buck, but the handle is stolen from the nighthawk.
The more and more I thought about a "divehawk" the cooler I thought the idea was.
Would like to see something like this made.
Please. :D

The Nemo (122) and the Frontiersman (124) were identical except for the sheath on the early ones. Here is a Nemo with the Dive Sheath. Sorry the Pics are sort of dark--I'm too lazy to retake them.

Enjoy:):):)

The 122 was never really successfull as a dive knife. The water (often salt water) would get in the handle and cause the tang to rust. Further, the stainless steel used in the blade (440C) did not perform well in water particularly when the blade was put in a wet sheath and allowed to dry. If I were to ever use a 122 in water I would put a lot of furniture wax on it first to seal it. The Tiburon is the real answer to a dive knife.
