My first river knife

I just purchased a Benchmade H2O  Dive knife.

Out of the box it is sharp. It's a little smaller that I thought it would be.

I wish the sheath had a clip on the back.

Overall I should be happy with this knife.

I got the same one at the factory store, you have good taste my friend. I slap a nice coat of Johnson's paste wax on mine every couple of trips, still looks like new.

Now you need a scuba gear retractor so you can stick it to your pfd and not lose it.

Got mine from Amazon...pretty small too but smaller is better I think especially since its attaching to the front of my PFD.

so, anyone have suggestions on how to mount this puppy without a clip on the sheath??

will? where on your gear do you plan on wearing it?

I will be putting on my PFD. It has a belt loop that I can get a buckle on my PFD to fit thru.

If there are any steel screws you might want to put some fluid film on them.

 Thank you guys for the tips.... wax the knife it to keep it looking like new and squirt any screws to keep them corroding.

Benchmade makes great stuff.  I have the H20  "River" knife (longer then the "Dive" knife with more of a sheep's foot blade).  I've had mine for 4-5 years with no rust protection other than a rinse after salt use and it's not shown one speck of rust.

Reply #14 shows my PFD with knife attached to left front strap.  Other posts show other PFDs.  I used small zip ties for attachment.
