These trauma shears have heavy-duty stainless steel construction (blades as well as the hinge bolt) and the blades are coated with industrial titanium nitride for longer lasting edges that better resist corrosion. Suitable for use in saltwater, these are not single-use disposables; they have a sharp-edge upper blade and serrated-edge lower blade featuring a clothing-lift lip and rounded tip for safety, along with non-slip contoured black color handles to provide maximum control even when wet. Note this item is just the naked shears with a vinyl storage pouch but no harness mount, measuring {7.5 in | 19 cm} for the longest dimension. Although corrosion resistant, cutting grade stainless steel is not corrosion proof and after diving you still must rinse the tool in fresh water and store it dry. Add the DGX lanyard and/or DGX Waistbelt Sheath if you prefer an easy storage option.
