Absolutely spot on 👍 top advice from start to finish this one.

@ScubaDiverMagazine 3 года назад

Glad it was some use.

@suicidalcadet 3 года назад

Some good points and ideas. Thanks!

@ScubaDiverMagazine 3 года назад

Hope it helped.

I learned my lesson about a dive knife on my calf, when one time fishing line tangled around my let and knife. Good thing my dive buddy turned to check on me because I couldn't get free. Not fun at 80 feet down in murky lake water. Now I have two cutting tools to be reached by either hand.

My leg and dive knife got tangled

@ScubaDiverMagazine 3 года назад

@@jeremiahperez8071 Yes, looking back, it was a stupid place to put a knife, but heh, we knew no better!

@seanlotz9581 3 года назад

Side-note: While not a 'total' solution; the trauma shears are the only SCUBA cutting tool I'm aware of that you can bring with you on the plane (i.e carry-on; for those of us who like to avoid checked luggage)!

@Teampegleg 3 года назад

You can fly with Z knifes like trilobites. The blade isn’t exposed so it is allowed.

@seanlotz9581 3 года назад

@@Teampegleg That's really good to hear! So you've gone through the TSA check with a trilobyte style knife yourself, and they were okay with it? (I actually never tried it, since someone told me it wasn't allowed..😕)

@Teampegleg 3 года назад

@@seanlotz9581 yes even when they were ***holes and were giving me the third degree because I refused to literally take everything out of my bag.

@seanlotz9581 3 года назад

@@Teampegleg I'll give it a whirl on our trip coming up in April! (Worst that can happen is that they keep it, but not an expensive item anyway.) Thanks for the info!

I may have gone a bit overboard... I carry 4 cutting devices on my BCD. I consider the EezyCut Trilobite to be the main cutting tool, so I carry two of those. One on my left waiststrap, and one on my right shoulderstrap. Because the Trilobite doesn't have serrated blades, and the diameter of line you can cut is limited, I carry a serrated Spyderco Salt 2 folding knife. It's made of highly corrosion resistant stainless steel, including the hinge, but you need to rinse it out properly to prevent salt buildup. I've removed the pocketclip and attached a small boltsnap and clip it off to the right D-ring. I decided on a folding knife because it tucks away nicely, and has a one-sided cutting edge. That way I can still maneuver it between line and skin without the risk of cutting the wrong thing. My fourth cutting device is a set of XShear trauma shears in a DiveRite sheath. I have that bungeed to the corrugated inflator hose.

Still strapping 9" blades to my leg... and then some scissors/wire cutters...

@judosunny 3 года назад

what do you think of knife-scissors? have one in my thigh pocket as my 3rd cutting option on tec-dives ( 1. small dive knife and 2.trilobite on bcd)

@ScubaDiverMagazine 3 года назад

I have seen them, and they do work both as a knife and scissors, my concern has always been that the hinge elements, etc, will be prone to pack up after prolonged exposure to salt water. I know how shears die after a few hundred dives.

@aaronlong4892 Год назад

But I really want a big knife to strap to my leg it's just cool sry mab I'll carry two lol

@OrangeBlood485 Год назад

2 is one, 1 is none! I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it!

@leopoldbloom4835 3 года назад

At least one of your cutting tools should be single edged, so you can cut free an entangled person (or marine life or yourself) even if you have to get real close to the body.

@ScubaDiverMagazine 3 года назад

That is why I like the Trilobites - virtually impossible to cut yourself - or anyone else - with one of them.
