Signaturejer email reply - I am not a 'ten' "blackbcdiver" <BlackBCdiver@gmail.com> pounded away at his keyboard resulting in: :hey : : :how i know what knife to use ? I was taught that you start at the outside and work your way iin. Just visualizing hugging the plate. Works well for the cutlery to the left and right, but I'm not sure about the utensils forward of the plate.

Adam All of the best ones I have had were Wenoka. > hey : > > how i know what knife to use ? You want the biggest one possible so you look like Rambo and can fight off sharks with it! Seriously, you need something small and preferably with a blunt tip so you don't pierce your BCD if you have to cut away netting or line around it. Some Sea Snips are also a good idea, and will cut line and netting more easily.

Oh yeah, it's always best to get a knife which straps to your leg so that if you need to ditch your weight belt in an emergency your knife can catch it and you won't lose it.

I use a small leg knife which I also use for snorkeling-prefer titanium if you can afford it. I also have a small BC knife (Blunt tip titanium) and my favorite secondary backup are a pair of paramedic scissors. Why so many? If you get caught up in a ton of fishing line, the scissors are better. Assume if you are nervous and caught on something, you will drop one. Also, Anyone who tells you to buy a big knife to fight off sharks is a newbie..... You never fight off a shark with a knife... the knife is used to cut your buddy's leg so the shark goes after them instead of you!!! > ok , no rambo stuff , thank great advice ! > > thank my friends ! |
