DGX Gears Titanium Tek Dive Cutting Tool w/Waistbelt Sheath
The DGX premium quality { 6 in | 15 cm } Tek Dive Knife is made from titanium alloy. The two most useful properties of titanium are the corrosion resistance and the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. We liked this elegant low profile knife so much we made a special bulk purchase to be able to offer a high quality titanium cutting tool at an excellent price. The price also includes a hogarthian style sheath which fits on a webbing harness waistband and has been enhanced with a Velcro flap and pull tab that holds the knife securely while still allowing reliable one-handed usage.
The DGX Tek Dive Knife blade features a single side edge, both serrated and non-serrated, that offers both aggressive cutting action and precision. Serrations create a semi-saw on the blade that is ideal for an aggressive cutting action on cable or cord. The non-serrated forward edge is the best choice for a clean, precision cut. The flat ground spine of the blade includes a line cutting notch. We love Sea Hunt, but experienced divers use this device for cutting and prying, not stabbing villains, so the clipped and swaged drop point has been slightly rounded for improved safety but keep in mind it's still got a point. The drop point design also makes the Tek Knife easier to return to the sheath.
The low profile DGX Tek Dive Knife also features a full tang with no handle to loosen or break. The skeletonized handle tang is ergonomically designed for a three fingered grip with a ridged thumb rise so maximum cutting force can be applied while preventing hands from slipping forward onto the blade. The butt of the Tek Knife is rounded to better fit the palm of the hand and includes a hole for a lanyard. Adding a short lanyard isn't very hogarthian but will help locate the knife and aid in pulling the knife from its sheath. If diving with heavy gloves, one could also go 'commando' and wrap the tang in cord.
