Cressi Dive Knife FAQs

Why do scuba divers carry dive knives?

Dive knives are an essential safety tool, primarily used to cut fishing lines, nets, or kelp that may entangle a diver. They can also assist with gear adjustments and serve as a general underwater utility tool.

What are the advantages of a Cressi stainless steel dive knife?

Cressi stainless steel knives provide sharp cutting edges, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting durability. They are ideal for divers who need a dependable blade in both saltwater and freshwater conditions.

Are Cressi titanium dive knives better than stainless steel?

Titanium knives are lighter, more resistant to rust, and require less maintenance than stainless steel. Stainless steel knives are generally sharper and easier to re-sharpen. Choosing depends on whether you prioritize edge sharpness or corrosion resistance.

What size Cressi dive knife is best for scuba diving?

Compact knives, like the Cressi Skorpion or Cressi Orca, are popular choices. The Skorpion is a versatile mid-sized knife ideal for recreational scuba diving, while the larger Orca provides maximum cutting power, making it a favorite among spearfishermen and divers who want a heavy-duty blade. Smaller line-cutters or compact models are convenient for casual dives, while larger knives are better suited for demanding environments.

How should I maintain and care for a Cressi dive knife?

After each dive, rinse the knife in fresh water, dry thoroughly, and occasionally apply a light coat of silicone or mineral oil to prevent corrosion. Always store the knife in its sheath in a dry place.

Can I travel with a Cressi dive knife?

Dive knives cannot be carried in airline carry-on luggage but can usually be transported in checked baggage. Always confirm airline and local regulations before traveling with dive gear.

Do Cressi dive knives come with a sheath or mounting system?

Yes, most Cressi dive knives include quick-release sheaths and straps, allowing you to mount the knife on your leg, arm, or BCD for easy access during a dive.
