Promate Scuba Diving Snorkeling Titanium Knife Review
71
Whether you are a devoted diver in need of a reliable diving knife or a friend or family member desperately searching for the perfect gift for the scuba diver in your life, you really can’t go wrong with the Promate titanium knife. After using this knife, I realized something that is a true rarity when testing a new product; there is nothing negative to report.
The Basics
The makers’ biggest boast about the Promate Scuba Diving Snorkeling Titanium Knife is that it is, “made for scuba divers by scuba divers.” Yes, it’s pretty tacky, but once you try it you might actually believe it.
This knife features a titanium blade and rubber molded handle. It’s so light weight that it appears to be really insubstantial at first, but don’t let it fool you. The handle is extremely resilient and can even be used in almost a hammer-like way to break things up and suffer no damage. It’s also shaped to fit the curve of your hand and is completely ergonomic.
The straps of the holster are adjustable so you are ensured a comfortable fit and won’t have to worry about it slipping off. The design also makes the knife very easily accessible during a dive. Also a great feature, the Promate Scuba Diving Snorkeling Titanium Knife is available with either a sharp tip or a blunt tip; which could be considered a safety feature by some.
A Few of the Perks
One of the major advantages of the Promate Scuba Diving Snorkeling Titanium Knife is that it is so lightweight. As I mentioned before, at first glance it seems flimsy and ready to break; and of course the “made in china” label only adds further insult to this judgment but rest assured that this little knife is heavy duty.
Its sleek look and relative weightlessness are mostly attributed to the fact that it’s made from titanium rather than stainless steel. This fact also makes it a joy in the maintenance department; this knife shows no signs of wear after several uses and a simple rinse under water after each dive is all that it requires to maintain its shine.

In Case You’re Still Not Convinced
For anyone who has ever spent any time watching nature shows on television, you know that the stars of the show are nothing less than fearless; a classic example being The Crocodile Hunter. For the stress and demand of their job, they will settle for nothing but the best which is why it should give you great peace of mind to know that Bear Grylls, the star of Man vs. Wild, the popular show on Discovery Channel, uses this knife and only this knife on his show.
If you have ever seen the show, you know that his knife is definitely putting in the hours; not only is he cutting with it, but he uses the sheath to break up rocks, bark, and anything else that happens to get in his way. While many may think it’s some sort of camera trick, I assure you that this little knife really can take a beating.
At just under $50 on Amazon the Promate Scuba Diving Snorkeling Titanium Knife is more than affordable. Grab it now before it goes back up to it's RRP - if it's good enough for Bear, it should be for you too.
