Working dive knife

Hey RANCD,

We still have some of the leg strap sheaths at Spyderco. I still recommend a secondary attachment if your're diving.

For what model Sal?
I think I swapped out the straps on the Caspian since they were fabric not rubber and wouldn't hold tight when the suit was compressed at depth. I haven't been able to find a good way to carry my Aqua Salt while diving so that normally stays in the boat on kayak. If there is a good way to carry the Aqua while diving I'd be interested.

Still freediving buddy? Any new PR's in the last year? Sigh....I probably couldn't make 30 meters these days.

Hi Sverre,

I was up in Lofoten diving last week, but it is pretty shallow there so I wasn't deeper than 20 m. I was hoping for some diving with seals at one of my spots, but they didn't show up. There was an off chance of being able to dive with a killer whale pod, but they weren't in the area this year I don't have any safety divers that are much help at 40+ meters so I haven't tried beating my PB. Wife gets a bit worried when I stay down too long as well

Might have to cave in and get one then

She should. We lost a spear fisherman here this year on a 30-40 meter dive. He was out with a friend of mine...terrible. Be safe buddy!

Shallow water black out does claim too many lives. I usually dive very conservatively and normally don't stay down more than 2 minutes. It is easy to get excited when spearing and that increases the risk a lot.. My condolences.

I carry my aqua salt on my weight belt, in front of my left hip with the gclip mounted diagonal. Feels natural at that position and easy to unsheath.
Ultimately l prefer to have my knife on my left bicep.. hopefully will be able to do something like that with the jm2..

I normally have a small knife on my left arm and a larger dive tool/prybar on the inside of my left shin. I don't like carrying items on my belt (it gets in the way of some of my gear while scuba diving) while diving.
