Questions & Answers

What about the strap? Is it of good quality?

In my experience, the knife in itself is good, but the strap is useless I have been diving with it for four months now. The knife doesn't seem to be secured at all. My forearm had to be secured with Velcro strips, which worked fine.

What happens to the pointed tip if it doesn't have the point? There is no information in the description regarding this. ?

I believe that's the case. Both the knife and the case It works fine with the rubber strap, though it is cumbersome but still works fine. The only downside I found was that even with immediate washing off with fresh water, a bit of rust still developed on the hilt.

Is it possible to attach the sheath to a BC?

To mount this to a BC, I believe that it is a bad idea. This is the type of knife designed specifically for it. Be sure the grommets on your BC are the appropriate distance apart for the knife you choose if they have been designed for knives specifically.

Does this knife have the strength to be used outside of the water. ?

Yes, it is possible to use it

Selected User Reviews For Cressi Skorpion, Tempered Stainless Steel Blade Knife ideal for Diving and Spearfishing - Pointed & Blunt Tip

The blade of this knife is thick and sturdy, with multiple cutting points

5/5

The sheath is quick to pull in and out. After diving with it for a few times now, I am in love with As far as the tip, I chose a flat one so I wouldn't accidentally poke myself or put a hole in my wetsuit however, there have been times when I wished I had opted for a pointed one. It has nice weighty rubber straps that go around your forearm, bicep, or ankle with plenty of length. A little bigger than my thigh but just big enough to stretch around it. A quick-release system allows the knife to be easily removed from the sheath as it remains snug in the sheath. In or out of the water, this knife is a recommended tool.

The maintenance of a dive knife doesn't end just because it is a dive knife

5/5

Before diving, break down the knife, coat all parts with oil or silicone lubricant, and wash thoroughly with fresh water. Then dry off and re-lubricate. Do not forget to take good care of your gear so that it will be able to.

A good lock seemed to have been established on the knife

4/5

It was only used infrequently by me, but it seems to be pretty good. I did see the slight rusting on the hilt guard. It's not severe, so you shouldn't be put off by it. The knife came loose in the hands of others, so I noticed others complaining. There was no issue with mine at all. It stayed pretty much in place. This was a great find for me.

The actual device itself is amazing and quite worthy of every penny spent

5/5

You get what you pay for! This is an extremely well-made and sharp item! It is great to be able to hold on while diving with the straps.

After using the knife for the first time, it has become rusted

3/5

Initial impressions of this product were good. It had a great angle in which the edge was sharp. The holster included in the package is fine, but. This was the first time I had used it at the beach, and the metal connection to the handle rusted all along the seam. It didn't get clean enough before being stored, so I don't know why it's mucky. It is not my first fishing knife purchase, but it is the first to ever become rusted. I am not so enthusiastic about it now that I have had a chance to use it.

The price for this is good, and I think it is an excellent The first one I received was deemed a good buy as it is a good value, and it is an excellent size

4/5

I personally think that every diver should carry a knife, but they seem to be getting away with it lately because of My heart would skip a beat if I was diving without a scuba tank.

Although the blade is made of titanium, the rest of the knife is trash

3/5

Iron parts are used in making DIVE knives. Who makes them? This is stupid.

Less than a day after a dip in the ocean, part of the handle was starting to rust. This is utterly There were no smart people in charge of designing the plastic holder and strap. With the plastic piece that holds the knife, the leg is in direct contact with square edges that are uncomfortable. There are no ergonomic benefits to using it. Lego-shaped, it seems to be made out of blocks. It is also a joke that the rubber straps are attached. There are holes in them that must be put there by hand, and the rubber pulls on the A dive suit is necessary if you want to be comfortable. You can make it really tight as a tourniquet if you want it to stay in place when you swim. This device would be made out of some kind of durable nylon material with rounded and contoured knife holders to conform to the shape of a human leg if it were designed by a smart person. In any case, I'll probably change the straps myself and make some modifications for it to As well, Cressi designers need to rethink their ideas.

It has a very poor retention system and rusts on the knife hilt

3/5

I rinse it every time after diving in salt water, yet the knife rusts on the hilt. However, the worst part about it is that the retention mechanism is terrible. There is no way to securely hold the knife, and running the risk of losing it is constant. You cannot have it all until you have it.
