New Dive Knife

Well, it isn't really new. Claire found it the last time we went diving. I swam right over the top of it and never noticed, good thing Claire was there to save the day! Okay, maybe not save, but definitely made better of the situation.

I was too stupid to take a before picture, which is a shame. The knife was pretty much part of the landscape, completely covered in barnacles and seaweed. I almost tossed it back down in the water as I didn't think much of it at the time, but once I started cleaning it up I was able to look it up online. Come to find out, its a really nice titanium Ocean Master. Supposedly they come with a locking sheath that is suppose to never lose the knife. Guess the sheath didn't get the memo. I cleaned it up really well and the blade looked like it had a lot of use: lots of nicks and gouges in the edge. So I spent about an hour and change sharpening the blade and smoothing out the edges. Got it pretty sharp, I cut myself!

Now I just have to make a sheath for it. I'm thinking of making a neoprene leg wrap style, we'll see.
