SAFETY KNIFES
The main function of a safety knife is to be able to cut yourself free in an emergency situation. Let’s look at a couple of very different types of knifes.
THESE KNIFES HAS BEEN SUPPLIED BY RONNIE SUNSHINES

This diver's knife is made from 420 J2 stainless steel with a cushion grip handle and retention lock a yellow ABS holster.
Diving Knife Length: 9 Inches
Blade Length: 4 and 5/8 Inches
The first knife as you can see is a large knife. I think that this knife is more suited to be worn either on the hip, on a belt. Or on the calf, or strapped to the leg. It’s too long to be worn on the arm; you could secure it to the shoulder strap of your pfd. The hilt is soft to the touch; it’s rubberised, and therefore would not slip out of your grip when wet, or covered in fish gut’s (With any luck) The scabbard of this knife is a very hard plastic, with plastic beckets to the back to fit rubber straps (Supplied) it is fitted into the scabbard with a sprung clip to hold it in place,
and is a tight fit and unlikely to fall out. It’s a fairly long bladed knife and would lend itself to other uses, such as filleting fish for example. It has a double sided blade. One side has a sharp smooth blade and a serrated blade down the spine of the blade with a hooked cutter.
Puritans out there will say that safety knifes should only be used for safety reasons. To a degree I would say that’s right.
This is a very good value for money knife at only £7.99.
But this next knife could only be used for safety reasons.
I would describe this knife as a pure safety knife only. It is a single sided blade! It only has a serrated blade, and a hook cutter. You will also note that it has a “chisel point” a very fine safety feature of this knife indeed.
The retaining clip on this knife is very crude, but very efficient;
The handle is made from a hard plastic, but the way its made it should not slip in a wet hand.The size of this knife would lend itself to being worn on the arm easily, or on Your PFD. What a nice Christmas present.
Chris (Thursoman) has agreed to give us a working review of the yellow knife. After he has been using it for a while.
