If you've ever gone diving and encountered any sort of marine animals, you'll realize how pathetically slow you are. Situations where you'll have an opportunity when you will be able to stab a shark will be very rare. Its not even worth bringing it up. Dive knifes are really more for **** like cutting yourself loose from nets and plants.

No. Invest in a good Ka-Bar.

Eh, I don't like the blade on the Ka-bar. I've got my eyes on this nice SOG knife, though.

Check out the MOD Razorback perhaps.

I just was looking at this knife, it was a SOG, fixed blade, with something done to the blade to make it withstand salt water better. It had a good heft, and was damned sharp.

I would have paid more attention to it, but I just got back from four days in the field and haven't slept much.

SOG...eh. The last fairly good knife they came out with was the SEAL 2000. Their old line was a bit more comprehensive and not as gimmicky-looking. I can't say as there's anything they're putting out nowadays that I'd carry.

Not "tacticool" enough for you?

For what it's worth, K-Bar is the real deal fighting / utility knife.

That blades design enables you to reach the heart from any point of entry on the human torso, more or less.

Lol, how does a knife's design allow you to do that? Don't you mean length?

Hint: Yes, yes you do.

I just dislike ka-bars. I don't know why it is, I'm sure that they are great at what they do, but I don't like them.

I prefer a more scimitar-esque blade.

If you're looking for a fighting blade, often a more brittle but thin hard steel is better for cutting through clothes and flesh. Holds edge btter too. Unless you're facing armored opponents. Not an expert on this subject but with armor involved a modern tanto shape is probably better.
