Mmm: *nice*...

Neither, save your reputation and money and get a pair of sea snips, a
nice metal backplate and a classic wing...

De nada.

ricardogermano@netcabo.pt stopped playing nethack just long enough to say:

Too much useless, unecessary crap hanging off it.
Too many potential failure points.
Probably over-priced.

Yawn.

Cool, a nice new BCD and a nice new pointy knife to accidently stick a
hole in it! :-)

No. If you want a single tank wing, get a Halcyon.

And if you want a combat knife, then possibly. But you'd be better off
getting a proper combat knife, complete with a decent handle (although
Technisub do some nice offerings in that range).

If, on the other hand, you want something useful for diving, get shears (or,
if you insist on a knife, something with a flat tip so that you can't poke
holes in things by mistake.)

If you want to look cool.

A sport diver trying to look technical.

While the tech boys smile at you.

The stuff looks cool ,but it's fluff.

If you need a to carry a knife look for a square tipped one like OMS's.

Carry it as a third tool (keep it small)

Better to go with a Line cutter (OMS / Dive-Rite) and snipes (OMS) (don't go
cheap)

As first and second tools.

How many you carry depends on your type of diving.

As for a BCD go for a back plate and wing.

Both repairable, durable or replaceable parts came be had anywhere.

Expandable, plus gives support for your single tank so it does flop around.

Or something to bolt your doubles to when your ready.

As for bladders go for minimum 45 lbs for cold water (single tank)

Larger bladder for doubles.

If overweight is a problem go with a ABS back plate instead of SS (6lbs
neg.).

Brands to consider.

All have their pro's ,con's and common ground:

OMS

Dive-Rite

Halcyon

This is just my cold water opinion.
