Dog Bootie = Dive Knife?

Curious...would the Dog Bootie work as a good dive knife?

Has anyone wrapped a handle with paracord yet? (I haven't seen one)

Has anyone stripped one? How rust resistant is that special super cool new metal?



I think I wanna get one, strip it, wrap it, blunt the tip, and take it to the water with me. Actually...could also add a few serrations to the top edge also...hmmm. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It looks like it should do the trick.

I have one of these want to see them side by side



Just got it out of storage. Forgot what a nice blade it is.

Cool knives, Seth!

I wonder if Dan will release these, or a variation thereof, to the Yard?

Those knives were the dive knife to have in the 80s. The sheath is pretty cool. The flap the says Tekna is hinged and has a nub that locks into a hole on the handle. The top of the nub is ramped so you just slide the knife in. I believe it is a 3.5" blade and 7.25" oal.

Which appears to be what the Bootie is. I think the Tekna might be a little thicker.

Dive knives are all about the sheath. There is no way that I would take a SY diving with me after all the knives I have left in the ocean.

Those Booties look too sharp for me too. I would probably cut an air hose or stab a dive buddy with one.

Adnj could you take my ex-wife diving with you, please.

.................................

My diveknife is a dagger with a plain edge and a serrated edge. No blunt tip... It is a Katz Avenger. I'll post a picture later today.
It works perfect!
I don't know if the Sandvik steel like the saltwater... But give a go!

I wouldn't be afraid to use it; just wash it off in fresh water when you're done. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'd have to find one of these elusive little suckers first <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Hoping Dan releases them... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

with a sharp point you can stab the shark <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My dive knife:



The design is really simple. Just two edges.

Many diveknives are over complicated, IMO.

The Dog Bootie would do the trick!

Would be interesting to see a Dog Booty style blade, with a very simply made Res-C handle (as in the knife you posted above, Rasmus).

I will settle for a paracord wrap, but a Res-C would be purdy awesome.

Welcome back to the Doghouse... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Do a cord with epoxy... or bees' wax. That would work really well for me.

There are some booty's on egay right now...or was yesterday

Nice knife. I noticed Chandler Az USA <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
A dive knife from the desert, they must have checked it out at Lake Pleasant, it's 175 feet deep.
Who makes it?
Thanks
Al

Thanks, Al.
It is a Katz. The Avenger diveknife...
I had never thought about it coming from the desert <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> They may well have taken it to lake Pleasant... It sure works well.

I say, Why NOT!!! I'm sure the HDD Dagger would make a great dive knife! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I don't dive but I do kayak fishing as much as I can, often in salt water. Generally I stay soaked as does my knife.

Infi works very well, slightly modified Meaner Street in my case... I rinse it off after use just as Private Klink suggested. No problems at all with rust.


The Bootie is intriguing to me, but I'd have to convert the double-edge into a false top edge for legal reasons in Texas. It is ridiculous that I am licensed to carry a concealed pistol, but can't carry an uber-dangerous double edged knife.
