John, I recommend using two knives, or one knife and one line cutter. I carry an OceanMaster Titanium as a main knife. It's very light in weight, still strong, non-magnetic, and IT WILL NEVER RUST! Then I carry a small knife on my BC, I like the UK Ramora, its small, and uses a 340 version of Stainless steel that is very resistent to rust, and it's easy to mount, to hose, BC, weight belt etc. You could use EMT shears instead of the Ramora, or be really safe and carry all three.

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 -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
