Very small, but did the trick. Nice line cutter on the blade. I used it with the Tusa knife attachment kit to attach the knife to a Scubapro Bella BC.

Modest little knife. Only an afterthought till needed, then it is fine.

Well made knife and sheath. A very handy size and light weight. Knife locks very positively into the sheath and if I lose the knife, it will probably be user error. I liked the mounting options that were included in the package but opted not to use the hose mount as I am just not comfortable having something that sharp near my hoses :/

This is my secondary knife that I tote around in my bag. Mostly used on the boat and not carried under water. decent quality and have had along on maybe 100 dives and still holding up niice.

I actually bought mine used from somewhere else, but thought I'd weigh in anyway. Overall, this is a slick little knife. It's a little more petite than i was expecting, but it's not unacceptably tiny, it's still functional and able to be handled safely. The sheath is surprisingly solid and robust, being that it's basically just a little bit of plastic. The locking mechanism seems very adequate, and after playing with it a good while, I'm confident the knife isn't likely to accidentally fall out. If someone drops a 5-lb weight directly on the locking mechanism, it'll probably thrash it, but otherwise, it should be pretty damage resistant. The blade on mine looked to have been un-used, and still had the factory edge, but wasn't very sharp, so I gave it a few minutes treatment on my Spyderco sharpener, and now it's pretty nasty. I'm not normally a huge fan of serrated edges, but for cutting cordage in a hurry, it's very practical and quick, and in this application, is appropriate. Also, since it should rarely, if ever, be used, there should be no issues with sharpening it (the biggest downside to serrated edges). For this money, this is a pretty solid option for a rarely-needed backup tool.

Wonderful little knife, small but gets the job done. With the hose mount it keeps the body stremlined and does not get in the way. Secure holder, cant loose it.

Short but built well. Fits along bc very well. Easy to lock or remove/replace.

This is a nice, tiny little dive knife. I attached the belt clip and tossed the hose clip which I now regret. The steel in the belt clip is very weak and bends easily so it doesn't attach securely to anything. For now, I have it attached to my big blue dive light wrist harness. I sandwiched a piece of the harness between the belt clip and the sheath and then screwed on the belt clip. Seems very secure! However, I am coming to the conclusion that you don't need to dive with a knife. Seems like shears would be better for most things like entanglements. For hunting I suppose you would need a pointy tip and if you tried to lever something with this tiny knife I'm guessing either you or it would break...so if you know this is what you want and you want to attach it to your inflators hose, this is great. Otherwise, maybe go for shears? In 20 dives, I've never used either.

Since I often dive alone I need to be prepared. I don't expect to ever need this knife, but I'll be glad to have it if I do. It has a secure locking sheath so I don't worry about losing it and a reliable hose mount. The curved grip is easy to hold. The blunt tip can be used as a screwdriver if needed and seems safer to use in a situation that could be harried if I ever get tangled up.

I bought this to use as a primary knife while recreational diving, and am happy with the quality and size. It's a little smaller than most knives (I can't wrap my last finger around the handle when gripping it), but I like that it's easier to pack and carry as a result. Also consider the BCD knife attachment (sold separately) if you'd like to screw it to rivets on your BCD - it's a nice combination.

I have not taken it diving yet but the knife appears to be a very well made blade. I'm not to sure about the release mechanism though, seems fragile and may be difficult to release knife with gloves in cold water.

I have my knife attached to my BC inflator hose. easy accessibility, easy to deploy, secure tightly to hose. Great knife for the price!

I bought four of them (one for each of my family members)… I got them all attached to the BCD inflator hose, and 3 of the 4 just fall out of the sheath at random, and one no longer even pretends to lock in. It's best to leave this knife at home, cause if you dive with it, you'll lose it for sure.

As a solo diver I require redundancy. I wanted an additional knife, hose attachment, in case I dropped my primary. This was to be a replacement for my Z cutter which always rusted/corroded (no stainless blades anywhere). I find myself consistantly reaching for this knife instead of my "primary". Very sharp and the locking mechanism is something I can depend on - both for positive locking and for easy release when you want it. Big enough to be a serious tool but small enough that it is unnoticable as a hose mount - till you need it. I got the blunt tip because my "primary" (now backup) has a tanto tip. I felt the blunt was safer as a hose mount and I already had a sharp tip if needed. This knife has been very useful during dives for milfoil remediation. Rolling mats (35' by 25') with rebar every 3' we sometimes need to cut rebar ties, slit mats, and always cut material to tie the rolled mats with cloth tape strong enough to lift the huge weight to the surface (lift bags and winches). This knife has stood up to the task admirably. It's my go to ...

Love the hose kit that comes with it that is the one reason I bought this knife. I wanted a second dive knife for easy access and I added this one to one of my hoses so I could reach it if I couldn't reach my lower one.

Having at least one knife, readily accessible, is an essential piece of gear. I bought this knife as a "starter" until I determine what's the best type to have. It's relatively inexpensive, and it's compact size makes finding an appropriate place for mounting on your BCD easy. Since I am left handed, I mounted it with the clip on the right shoulder strap of my BCD. This way I can reach across with my left hand and remove the knife without having to switch hands. For right handed divers, the hose mount may be your best location. The blade locks into the sheath and disengages easily. The blade felt relatively sharp out of the box, but I'll give a few strokes with the stone anyway. Eventually it will be my backup knife, but for now, it will serve it's purpose well.

I have used this knife to cut things and being that it has a blunt tip I have also used it as a screw driver. I use the hose mount which I find very convient and you choose where to put it on the inflator hose.

I was expecting a knife that would attach to my BC. This knife has an open-ended clip like you would see on a boot knife. It also comes with a fitting so you can attach it to your hose. But this is not a BC knife; it's a hose knife. Zip ties are your only recourse if you expect to attach it securely to a BC.

Great knife for BC

This knife is a must have! Some people may think it too small to use as a primary but it works great for me as I am just a recreational diver. I leave it clipped to my BCD while diving and the locking mechanism gives me all the peace of mind I need. This knife is however, extremely small. It can easily fit into most BCD pockets. The small size can sometimes be a downside when using gloves, but the design keeps it from being completely useless. Haven't had it in the water but a couple times, but haven't seen any rust.

Great thing to have besides your main knife. I attached this to the hose inflator, so to have it handy on my upper body in case of entanglement. The lock works good and it's not loose at all.

I've had two TUSA dive knives and they have been fantastic and rust free without more than just rising my BCD in fresh water after every dive. Other, cheaper brands I've used such as the one with the seahorse as the logo have rusted from day 1.
