So I’m looking for a knife for freediving and spearfishing, and I’m hoping you all can provide some insight.
There are a huge number of titanium dive knives available that are touted as being “high end” and the most corrosion resistant, but I’ve been advised that some are of questionable quality and I can’t find much info from reputable sources on edge retention and ease of sharpening.
On the other hand, there are “specialty” steels like H1 that are allegedly tailored for use in salt water.
I’m wondering if any of you have any insight on how other types of steel hold up to saltwater exposure, and if you have any specific recommendations for fixed blade dive knives. I feel like this community might have more knowledge or insight compared to diving forums.
Thanks!
