Mark: It is not a $100 knife, but it is very sharp, and the case effectively keeps the knife from falling out. However, it is quickly available for skin divers. If you trotline, there is always the risk of getting hooked, falling overboard, and weighted down by the trotline weights. This is a must for trot liners, in case they ever need to cut themselves free.

Thomas E.:
This knife lasted for about 20 dives before the tang had rusted to the point of it being a hazard and I had to throw it out. The care/maintenance instructions just tell you to rinse the blade with fresh water and dry, then oil the knife. That's fine, every diver should do that for ANY steel knife; but there is nothing in the care instructions about the handle being hollow! If you want this knife not to rust , you need to unscrew the knocker at the bottom of the handle (you might need plyers) and rinse THE WHOLE knife including the tang then dry and oil everything after EVERY dive! Consider yourself warned.
This extra maintenance is annoying but I think that inconvenience is to be expected for something so cheap. I'm giving a 1 star rating because the instructions don't have any steps to prevent the tang from rusting into dust. It seems like the manufacturer/retailer is just excluding this info so they can blame the customer for poor maintenance instead of standing behind their product. I know you can't expect a lot from a cheap product on Amazon but honestly, I don't think it's too much to ask for transparent care instructions on a piece of safety...

Conscious : I recently bought a $50 dollar RIFFE dive knife and this knife and this one is 10 times better. The only thing is it rust a little but that comes with every dive knife at this price point.

Tammy: The knife was great for the ocean. Positives: light in weight, sharp, easy to use straps. Cons: retrieval button to release night not of highest quality, but definitely a great value for the money, and I did not have any mechanical issues activating the release button on the knife holder.
