All divers should carry a knife as a safety precaution against entanglement in fishing line or nets.
Adreno stocks a range of quality freediving knives but, like anything, you get what you pay for. A cheaper dive knife will often become blunt and rust quite quickly! It is a good idea to budget $50-$70 for a high quality dive knife that will last you a lifetime. Most of the rust to appear on a dive blade will be superficial but still detracts from the performance of the knife.
A serrated edge is recommend for cutting through ropes. It is also important to consider how the dive knife is strapped and how it can be taken out for use. Many people opt to have their knife on their belt for easy access, others run it around there leg but this can be harder to reach, especially if you're tangled.
