Knife reccomendations?

My girlfriend is finally going to come diving with me. She's looking to buy her first knife and is picky about it. Trying to find one that will clip on the BC, titanium, blunt tip, line cutter, and (at least partially) serrated. I'm having trouble finding one to fit that description. The Aeris Silver Jack Knife looks good except it's not titanium. Anyone else have any recommendations?

Try one made by Wenoka, Deep Sea. It has all of the features you mentioned, plus, I like that it has a sqeeze clip to hold it into the sheath. I don't care much for yanking the knife out of the sheath while fumbling about underwater. And I really don't like having to push hard to get it back into the sheath underwater either.

I don't have the titanium version, but they do offer it.

Here is a link:

Happy Diving....

I don't want to sound chauvinistic but the reason she may be picky is she doesn't want one, show her a line cutter like this Zeagle Line Cutter, Dive Knives, Zeagle, Zeagle Line Cutter or shears like these Zeagle EMT Shears, Dive Knives, Zeagle, Zeagle EMT Shears. Not macho but safer and work as well if not better especially with fine line.

I also reccommend the deep see / wenoka titanium tanto tip - I bought two (one for me and the SO) and love them! I was able to mount the knife on both of our BC's without a problem in the factory mounting spots (Oceanic HERA and Sherwood Avid.)

Ditto. I have 2 of them also. 1 is SS the other is Titanium. The titanium is tanto tipped. Kind of blunt at an angle. IMHO you really don't want a true blunt tip in titanium. Titanium is brittle, and you really shouldn't do much prying with it. If she wants a blunt tip for safety, the tanto tip will be safer than a pointed tip knife.

Edit: Here's the link for the Titanium Tanto Tip
