A really nice knife! Light weight, super sharp, rust resistant, easy to take apart and clean (if you need to). The case has a positive lock and can be released with either your thumb or index finger, knife can be oriented in the case left or right handed. Handle has a hole for a lanyard strap. The grip feels good in the bare hand or 3mm gloves (I wear a men's large glove). I found that in my kevlar reinforced 5mm gloves the handle feels just a little small and takes some getting used to. I have muscular legs and like to wear a knife on my thigh, these straps barely made it with my 7mm wetsuit. I seem to find myself prying on things in the water from time to time, thus the flat tip. The way this blade is ground gives the tip a thin profile (great for getting underneath objects) and then quickly gets thicker, this should give it adequate strength for prying. Tip is slightly wider than a #2 flat blade screwdriver. The line cutter is on the bottom side of the blade, encouraging you to cut away from yourself. Overall, a great knife that I would recommend for diving.
