Has Rick ever produced a diving knife??

[mclark202]

Getting into scuba and search and rescue through work and thinking I love my XM18 above the water, but definitely need something good for under the water. Has one ever been produced? I'm sure I can "use" a few fixed blades, but anything dedicated?

Yes they have... They're the Black DLC and the FDE DLC in any of the XM model sizes

I def prefer fixed blade for diving..from RHK the fxm (3.5" blade) would probably be best, flashpoint (3") probably a bit small & fieldtac (5.5") too big. +1 DLC

Fwiw I am a diver & hinderer user above water, I couldn't imagine bringing one of their knives in the ocean Hate to recommend a non-RHK on RHK thread but check out Spyderco H1 offerings... mine even rescued a shark last month (around 1:50 in this video)

I bet you were wishing you had that 5.5" blade then! And maybe a longer handle too.
