A combat knife, which is also known as a trench knife, a fighting knife or a tactical knife, is typically designed for military use, specifically in close range of the perpetrator. But, nowadays trench warfare is mostly nonexistent; therefore, these types of knives serve as more of a utility tool than up-close-and-personal combat.
A modified version of the combat knives is called the tactical folding knife, also known as the Buck knife. This style is popular with sportsmen as well as military personnel as it can be used to perform a wide variety of tasks. The tactical folding knife became widely popular in the 1990s in response to the federal government’s restrictive firearms laws.

There are many considerations in choosing a Diving Knife, including where it will be mounted and how big it should be. Traditionally a Diving Knife has been strapped to the divers leg, but this may not be the best place for it. If you do choose to strap the knife to your leg, it should be strapped to the inside of the leg opposite your dominant hand.
Many people today think a smaller Diving Knife mounted to your BCD or your instrument console is more useful. If you do this, you have one less piece of equipment to strap on or forget to strap on. However, choose a Diving Knife with a blunt tip to minimize the possibility of poking a hole in your BCD. An easy way to go is to attach fastex clips in various places on your BCD with the matching end clip on a Folding Knife. You can then attach any dive accessory anywhere on the vest.
Just remember, dive smart, dive safe, dive responsibly and use common sense.
Every diver should consider a diving knife to be a required piece of equipment on every dive. Fishing line and other sources of entanglement are a universal hazard. Some vacation destinations discourage divers from carrying knives in an effort to protect their dive sites, but they are the exception rather than the rule. The resorts simply want to prevent an irresponsible diver from harming marine life or chip away at a living coral reef. However, it is better to have a diving knife with you when you are sitting on the bottom ensnared in a web of old fishing line.

Ceramic knives are popular with scuba divers because they will not corrode in harsh environments. They are also nonmagnetic and do not conduct electricity, which can be useful during bomb disposal operations. The chemical makeup of the ceramic knife and their ability to retain a cutting edge longer than forged metal knives make them a suitable culinary tool for slicing boneless meat, vegetables and fruit. Since the knives are less flexible that other knives they may break if dropped on a hard surface and cannot be used for chopping through bones or frozen foods or for prying. Several companies now offer a black colored blade made through an additional hot isostatic pressing step, which improves the toughness.
Ceramic knives may present a security problem as ceramics are not seen by conventional metal detectors. For safety purposes, many manufacturers include some metal to ensure that they are seen by standard equipment. Ceramic knives can be detected by extremely high frequency scanners and Z-ray backscatter scanners.
