Cressi Short Blade Knife for Scuba Diving and Spearfishing with Quick-Release Sheath & Hose Holder - Lima: designed in Italy

Buen producto

Bought this knife for a recent trip to Maui and it didn't disappoint! As a certified scuba diver I never get in the water without some kind of knife. However when it comes to family vacations snorkeling is what we're doing and my normal dive knife is large and would be overkiĺl for snorkeling. I opted for this smaller discreet knife and its awesome. I was skeptical of its size based on the description, but it was perfect! Small enough to be discreet but big enough to grip firmly and also razor sharp. The sheath is solid and holds firmly, the belt clip is a great feature and the reason I bought this knife. Cressi has been in the dive game for a long time and they got this one right!

CRESSI SHORT BLADE KNIFE: Overall its been a good little knife. Primarily used for cutting bait and for emergency while kayaking. It holds a decent enough edge and stays sharp once you sharpen it. No rust as of yet almost a year in. I'm pretty good about wiping my knife after use. Only issue is the holster is a bit of a pain. Mainly when trying to remove the knife. It takes a little practice. On the plus it won't slip out. CRESSI is know primarily in the dive community but as a fisherman its a perfect little kayak fishing knife.

I bought this knife to attach to my PFD for emergencies, such as cutting fishing or anchor line. It was easy to attach and well sharpened. The only downside is the release is a little awkward. I've practiced and gotten use to it however. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a small practical knife. If you are looking for a knife for your BCD or PFD this will be great choice. It definitely won't be coming out of the sheath accidentally.

The knife was excellent but the locking mechanism really needs work. I took the knife on various dives, it showed no signs of rust and remained sharp. Unfortunately on my last dive trip the locking mechanism failed, my knife went sailing into the depths until it was attacked by a barracuda, who spit it out, the knife continued to sink out of sight and out of any depth I could reach. Good knife with a bad locking mechanism. If you decide to get this knife make sure to use the hole in the handle to secure it to your BCD, don't just rely on the sheath mechanism.

I was hoping to do a follow up review, but original review is not popping up. That being said, after at least 4yrs of regular use with respect to kayak fishing, cutting bait, prepping fish in the field (when fillet knife wasn't packed, cutting braided line, etc, this knife has held up much better than i thought it would. In fact, by this time, i thought some rust would have been imbedded on blade or where blade meets handle, however, condition remains intact and rust free. Dont be mislead into thinking that because it is made of stainless steel, that it will remain rust free. There are times when due to time lack of available time, eauipment maintanence is not performed right away, hence light rust does develop as with any other stainless steel gear. However, after a few days to 3 wks of salt water residue allowed to remain, it does clean up exceptionally well with light scrubbing with cleanser follwed by light coat of "3 in 1 oil". In terms of the resin components, they have hld up as well and very pleased that they too have endured regular use. Initially, i was worried that plastic compents felt a bit brittle, and ultimately shatter with impact, but thats not been the case. I suppose in the long run, maintenance is the key, very satisfied with this knife and will definitely buy again. I keep this along with other geer "dummy corded to my PFD at all times to ensure it doesnt get lost. See pic after at least 4yrs of regular salt water outings.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Good quality product, relatively small but as an add-on / backup knife perfect! Sits snug in its sheath and comes with a relatively short rope. Blade is well fabricated and makes a solid impression!

Might be a great knife. I don't know. The locking mechanism on the sheath has a hair trigger. I had the knife clasped to the chest of my life vest while on my fishing kayak, brushed up against the lock with my arm while paddling, and it shot the knife overboard like a torpedo. The lock was in the locked position, it just doesn't take much force at all to unlock it - then gravity does its thing and your two day old knife is rocketing toward the bottom of the bay. I've had several similar knives with similar sheathes from different brands and this is the first time this had happened. Seller was excellent, as usual. It's Amazon. Just a stroke of bad luck and questionable engineering.

LA HOJA NO SE PUEDE DESPRENDER DE LA FUNDA SALVO USANDO LAS DOS MANOS Y UNA HERRAMENTA PARA ACCIONAR EL SEGURO, EXTRAÑO SISTEMA PARA UN CUCHILLO DE BUCEO QUE PUEDE NECESITARSE CON URGENCIA, E IMPROPIO DE UNA MARCA COMO CRESSI.

I bought this knife a couple of years ago and it is standard gear on my BCD. The slide lock mechanism is excellent for securing the knife in its sheath and the blade and cutter do their job well. I would highly recommend this product to any diver.

Exactally what I expected. 👍🏼

Braucht ein Messer zum Kajakfahren und Angeln, dass ich an meine Angelweste befestigen kann. Anforderunge: Leicht, nicht zu klein und griffig, scharf, gesichert (dass es nicht beim 1sten Benutzen ins Wasser plumpst), ... Habe einfach ein Loch in die Halterung und Weste gebohrt und mit eine Pop-Niete befestigt. Top

Muy buen producto, excelente relación calidad precio, práctico, compacto y ligero.
