A knife belongs to safety equipment that you hope you’ll never need, but when you do, it must work without hesitation. Underwater you can get tangled in line, nets or seaweed, and then seconds count.
A freediving knife must be primarily reliable and easily accessible. Stainless steel resists corrosion from salt water, sharp blade cuts through even tough materials. Ergonomic handle mustn’t slip even with wet gloves.
Knife placement is crucial – you must reach it quickly with one hand. Some freedivers carry the knife on their arm, others on the thigh or attached to a buoyancy vest. The sheath must hold the knife securely while allowing quick drawing.
Size depends on your needs. Smaller knives are more discreet and lighter, larger ones have more cutting power. Regular maintenance is important – a sharp knife is a safe knife.
A knife is an investment in your safety that you can’t afford to underestimate.
