Dive Knife attachment

[Kimmie]

Where on your webbing/harness/BCD do you attach your dive knife and why?

[przeor]

I put a small knife on my inflator hose. the weight of the knife keeps the hose right where i want it and i always know where my knife is.that knife doubles as my noisemaker- i can pluck it out and hit the bottom of it on my tank. i also have a small z-knife on the wristband of my computer. always good to have a back up!

I carry a Zeagle sheath knife on my waist belt..my R side.

I keep a small knife on my waist band, close to the center where it could be reached with either hand. I also have a line cutter on my right shoulder strap. A pair of trauma shears is kept clipped off in my suit's pocket.

On occasion I strap a larger knife to my inner calf.

I have an Aeris Silver Jack on my BC(Aeris AtmostXT)strap down near my waistband and a folding knife in my "key" pocket I guess you would call it on the front of the BC. I am looking for something a bit larger for the inside of my calf-All of my underwater cutlery has blunt points.

I have a small knife attached to my LP inflater hose, easy to reach, and by the time I get really used to my rig I'll know where to reach for my knife without having to think about it.

I have a small frame and a backplate/wing... not many places for me to stick a knife. Won't fit anywhere on my webbing as there simply isn't enough room.

<DIV>So when I take a knife out with me, it's usually strapped to my leg. I've thought about the idea of clipping the knife off of a d-ring, just don't know how well I'd be able to get to it and resheath it.</DIV>

What else do you have on your harness' waist belt such that you don't even have 2" of space for a knife?

I've seen sheathes that can mount vertically on your shoulder harness straps, if that helps any. I just can't picture literally not even having 2" of space unless you have a bunch of stuff that would be better off elsewhere already on your belt.

I'd say there should be some sort of room there, I've yet to see some diver that skinny. In fact, I think, no lets not go there.

<DIV>I keep mine on the waist strap beside the crotch strap so it's easily reached as well.</DIV>

<DIV>I use the profit DSS harness, https://www.deepseasupply.com/index.php?product=11</DIV>

<DIV>In between the clips and the d-rings, after I have the thing fully tightened to fit my frame, there isn't a whole lot of room. I use a 6 pocket XS scuba weight belt from scubatoys that barely fits around my waist completely tightened...</DIV>

<DIV>I might try attaching it to my right shoulder.. I'm a bit leary of sticking a knife on my inflator hose though, don't want to accidentally stab it.</DIV>
