GEAR AIDAkua Blunt Tip Paddle Knife with Serrated 3” Blade and Sheath

Great knife. Had to replace previous rescue knife as I lost the sheath so can't carry it safely any more. I do Race Committee on San Francisco Bay, working in a 16' RIB in all kinds of weather, wind, and sea-states; and we occasionally have to cut lines, including hi-tech kiting lines. The serrated blade is perfect for that, and it goes through regular synthetic ropes like butter. Good size, fits on my life vest, easy to unsheathe but always feels safe and well-secured.

Great blade. Lightweight with a really nice sheath that easily attaches to most kayak-style PDF vests. Thankfully, I have not needed to use it in an emergency situation, yet, but it is really nice to know it is securely attached to me if the situation requires it. Sharp edge right out of the box. Don't go paddling without it!

Perfect for water related activities. Really sharp. Love the blunt tip. I do suggest to clean your equipment regularly and not let it rust over.

I just got this knife but haven't used it on the field yet. My first impressions are that it's a sturdy knife. The sheath seems a little plasticy but the knife clips on firmly and once you figure out the thum release, it's pretty solid. The blade needs sharpening as the edge seemed kinda rounded off, but after a few passes through the sharpener it was good to go. The belt clip attached to the sheath is very tight so I doubt that it'll go anywhere once it's attached to your pfd. Overall I'm satisfied. I hope the blade is resistant to rust but we'll see.

This knife has become a handy tool on my son's kayak. It has been safe and secure to use due to the knife sheath's locking mechanism, light weight and quality build. He keeps it snug on the left side of his chest for easy access. This sharp blade knife cuts through all his needs and was a good deal for the money.

Works perfectly, always available for when I need the different tools that it has available on it. I really like that it is secure in the holster until I need it.

I use this knife when I patrol and it is great. One of the most quality knives you can find for this price. Just about shave-sharp when new, and the retention of the sheath is great. I wish the clip on the sheath was a little more positive, since the knife is so well retained, if you jerk on it to pull out instead of push the release, the whole sheath can come off, but still great.

Fine knife, but clearly not built for diving. Rusted over after 2 days of diving.
