Cave divers will load the traditional hogarthian line cutting tool, a blunt-tip knife with a very sharp stainless steel { 2 in | 5.1 cm } serrated blade. For open water and wreck diving, load the sheath with heavy-duty EMT shears that have saltwater ready stainless steel construction and an industrial titanium nitride coating for longer lasting, corrosion resisting edges.

NOTE: StainLESS does not mean StainPROOF and all diving products made of stainless steel must receive some basic care to help minimize corrosion. At the conclusion of the dive day, as soon as possible please rinse the cutting tool with fresh water after diving or when otherwise in contact with salt water, allow them to dry and do not store them in damp or moist environments or near aluminum. Make sure any storage sheath or pouch is also rinsed and allowed to dry before returning the stainless item to the pouch.
