Can i dive in the ocean with this knife on a regular basis?

I have and it will work fine. However I wash mine really well after each dive with fresh water. Also get the kydex sheath. Not the nylon one if you are going to take your knife for a swim. Also rinse the sheath off as well.

Personally i don't think this knife is meant to be taken into salt water. You probably could, but i think there are better options out there.

You wouldn't want to make a habit of it since the blade could dull, but usually the blade just stops when it hits a rock... Debris could be a problem so always wear safety glasses

absolutely! This is also my favorite knife. I carry it with me at all times and I collect knives. I probably have 150+ knifes altogether. Awesome knife. Strong. Versatile. One click open assist. Just the right size. Excellent feel and balance. Perfection in my opinion.

I've had it more than a year and have not had any issue. I continously utilize this knife every day.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it at all!! The KA-Bar wasn't designed to be carried in a boot or hip pocket or any place that could lead to greater chances of foolish, self inflicted wounds - major or minor. The KA-Bar blade is very, very sharp and nothing to just fart around with. Keep it in it's sheath at all times and when you carry it, keep it attached to your belt. There it will always be within reach if it is ever needed but also out of the way and positioned in a much safer area. Knives of this size were never designed to be played with!!

Yes, but you have to make sure the knife goes in all the way untill you here the click, and then it should be good to go

Yes. It's one of the fasted blades i own. You can do the standard Spyderco deployment, or you can hold the blade between thumb, pointer finger and middle finger and 'flick' the blade open using gravity for help. On the flip side the blade retains easily and I wouldn't be worried about an accidental opening in your pocket.

The pointer is made either from stainless steel or chrome plated metal. I don't know if either would be suitable for diving.

It wouldn't do any good even if it could be locked. Any knife will slash through the soft sides. Having said that, I traveled many thousands of miles with no problems of that sort.

No. Unfortunately, closing the knife brings too much mass into one location causing the formation of a small black hole. This is not covered by the warranty.

If you use it around salt water you will have to really take care of it daily. It would need to be wiped down with a lite oil at the end of each day. It is an EXCELLENT knife, but it's carbon steel, and the salt will wreck it if you let it.

Being cautious, I'd say no. Your best bet would be to look up your knife on Amazon then review the recommended accessories or contact a seller for a recommendation.

Yes. I keep one in my hiking pack and it has endured things which have caused lesser knives to break in half.

Possibly, but unlikely. I use mine as a key chain, so I doubt it would for me. The knife is pretty substantial on it's own.

Yes, mine recently broke (spring popped out of place) but it is an easy fix with the proper toolsI would recommend this as a starter EDC knife for light use but I am personally upgrading to a SOG Trident soon.

You Could depending on your Knives. I don't think it would be the Safest Idea.
