The Blue Tang is a great dive knife. The knife locks securely in its sheath, yet it is easy to release when needed -- even with 7mm gloves. The attachment straps are comfortable to wear on a leg or arm, or can be removed all together and the knife (with sheath) can be slipped into a knife pocket of a dry suit. Comfortable grip.
The knife comes apart easily for cleaning. Though the alloy does resist corrosion better than stainless steel, precautions should still be taken with regular maintenance. A stabilizing knob inside the sheath does scratch the face of the blade.
Overall it is an excellent value, especially if you do not want to spend a lot for a titanium knife.
