Dive Knives NZ — NZ-Made Dive Knives & Safety Gear (2026)
A dive knife isn't a weapon — it's a safety tool. Kelp, fishing line, nets, and rope are real underwater hazards in New Zealand waters. Every diver should carry one.
Why Carry a Dive Knife?
- Entanglement: Kelp, old fishing line, and cray pot ropes can trap you
- Paua/crayfish harvesting: Need a blade to measure and take shellfish
- Spearfishing: Iki your catch quickly and humanely
- General tool: Prying, cutting, signalling (tap on tank)
Our NZ-Made Dive Knives
We stock New Zealand-made dive knives with sheaths and mounting options — supporting local manufacturing.
Blade Types
| Type | Best For |
|---|---|
| Straight edge | Clean cuts — line, rope, kelp |
| Serrated edge | Sawing through thick rope and netting |
| Combo (straight + serrated) | Most versatile — recommended for most divers |
| Blunt tip | Safer for beginners — less risk of puncturing BCD/suit |
| Pointed tip | Prying, piercing — experienced divers |
Mounting Options
- Leg mount: Straps to calf — quick access, out of the way
- BCD mount: Clips to jacket — easy reach at chest level
- Arm mount: Straps to forearm — freediving favourite
- Line cutters: Small hook blade on BCD — for fishing line only
