Argus

The Essential Knife for Underwater Safety.

$70.95 USD
Size

The Argus is a compact yet powerful diving knife designed for scuba divers, freedivers, and spearfishers who demand reliability, precision, and safety in underwater environments. Combining a high-quality blade with a secure and practical sheath system, this knife is an indispensable tool for both safety and utility underwater.

Blade Features

  • High-Quality 420 Stainless Steel: The blade is constructed from tempered 420 stainless steel, ensuring excellent resistance to corrosion, a critical factor for saltwater use.
  • Dual-Edge Design: One side features a smooth, razor-sharp edge for clean cutting, while the other is equipped with a serrated edge ideal for sawing through ropes, nets, and fibrous materials.
  • Line Cutter Notch: A dedicated notch at the base of the blade allows for quick, precise cutting of monofilament lines or small cords without the need for a full stroke.
  • Drop-Point Tip: The pointed design provides versatility, suitable for precision tasks while still maintaining strength and durability.
  • Full Tang with Metal Pommel: The tang extends to the base, ending in a steel butt cap that doubles as a small hammer for underwater signaling or light impact use.

Handle Features

  • Ergonomic Bi-Material Grip: The handle is molded in a dual-material combination of rigid black polymer and high-visibility yellow rubber. This ensures a secure, non-slip grip even with wet or gloved hands.
  • Finger Guard & Thumb Rest: Provides safe handling, preventing accidental slips onto the blade while allowing precise control.
  • Compact, Streamlined Shape: Designed for minimal drag in the water, with a lanyard hole at the base for optional tethering.

Sheath & Mounting System

  • Locking Quick-Release Sheath: The knife comes with a hydrodynamic black sheath featuring a secure push-button locking system. This ensures safe storage while allowing quick, one-handed release when needed.
  • Durable Thermoplastic Construction: The sheath resists impact, saltwater exposure, and UV rays.
  • Multiple Mounting Options: Two strong straps with stainless steel buckles are included, allowing the knife to be comfortably strapped to the calf, thigh, or arm.
  • Low-Profile Design: Compact and streamlined for easy positioning without adding bulk to your gear.
