Subject: Newbie question on dive knives
Date: Thu, 27 Mar 1997 08:18:32 -0000
Hi,

Intro:
I'm a long-term lurker planning to put together a proper rig during this diving
season. I've been listening in for advice, and spent some time looking at
Todd Leonard's web page, trying to ensure I understand why everything is as
it is.

First question:
Why take a dive knife, as opposed to other ways of cutting line/netting &c?
The two alternatives I can see are a netcutter and shears (as used by EMT's).
I can see pros & cons to each method. What are the factors that dictate a
knife over the other methods?

John Brett
