Anyone here knife nut and diver? I would like to find a quality dive knife for my Best Man. He's a bit spear fishing guy, and I know he prefers a pointed tip for dispatching fish. I was thinking titanium, for ease of maintenance, and it seems like most dive knives have plain, serrated and line cutter.

So far, I am leaning towards this:

Any other recommendations?
 
Check out spyderco's H1 offerings. Their folders are reasonably priced and they have a few fixed blades but they are not the cheapest things around. H1 will not rust though, at all!
I actually don't have a pointed knife for spear fishing, I have an older Buck tiburon dive knife, chisel point. My friend taught me to use the metal spike on his floater where you attach fish to stab the fish in the brain. Sorry I don't have a recommendation for a pointy knife.
 
Hey man, Advanced Diver here. I've been using a Atomic dive knife for 3 years now and its been fantastic. The sheath is made to be mounted on the leg. Titanium blade (Obviously). check it out.

i have the top one, the tip is good for prying necessary for some kinds of fishing he might do.

I use an atomic knife for diving too. Never had any problems. Solid piece of kit.

I second the caspian salt, I have one and it is great. Just make sure you dont get the blunt tip version if you go with it!

I agree with Nick WT knives are awesome made of TI won't rust and you can always email him to see if he will do a custom build dive knife for you i know hes really busy right now with making some new stuff but hey never hurts to ask.
 
Love the photo!

Did you ever consider a blunt tip?
Can't see the benefit myself, but there's obviously a market out there as companies continue to make them.
