FuryTactical Treasure II Dive Knife

Reviewed several inexpensive stainless skeletonized-handle dive knives on Amazon and elsewhere, picked this one, and am pleased with this purchase. It seems to be unique and fixes a few complaints leveled at competing products by other reviewers here.Unique features -- (1) Knife has scalloped edges ("Grip Grooves") on handle that make it easier to feel and grip; and (2) has line cutter which most of the other knives omit.Fixes complaints -- (1) Apparently some competing knives come with plastic straps that are disliked and quickly discarded / replaced. This one comes with rubber straps that work well and are reasonable comfortable even against bare skin. (2) Both knife and case have "(made in) Taiwan" markings. Most competing products are apparently made in China, which some purchasers have objected to. (3) Case is a good fit for the knife - secure but with one-handed release possible with a little practice. Some reviewers have complained on competing knives that they can't do one-handed release.Minor fixes -- (1) The knife is a bit loose in the case and prone to rattle in some carry positions. A little nylon cord or Velcro shoved down into the case quickly and easily fixes the problem. (2) The underside of the point end of the case can be a little rough against bare skin depending on how it is worn (if the point end is pressing against a rise in the skin). Filing or grinding off a little excess plastic on the underside fixes this problem. I suspect this issue may be common across the cases, so not stars off for this.Other comments -- (1) I tried heavier rubber replacement straps recommended by other knife purchasers. For my use, the lighter rubber straps or two-sided "One Wrap" Velcro works best for low bulk. (2) The plain edge of the knife is dull out of the box. I believe this is intentional and desirable for traditional applications ... this knife is primarily a poking and prying tool, so a dull edge is sufficient and safer. The serrated edge and the line cutter provide all the cutting capability generally required. That said, a sharp edge can be easily added to the knife if desired, making this a pretty adaptable tool to satisfy multiple uses.Net -- I think Joy Enterprises (makes Fury Tactical - see website) got it right on this product, relative to other suppliers. I plan to try other products of theirs as a result.

TLDR: Don't buy it if you plan to get it wet.This knife, as other reviewers noted, rusts very quickly when exposed to salt water. Of course, that's only a problem if you plan on using it for diving. Mine started to rust within a half hour of being submerged in salt water for the first time. I've used half a tube of Maas polish removing rust after each dive and I finish the process each time by wiping it with mineral oil. None of it matters, and the rust is inevitable. Do not buy this for diving.Another reviewer seemed to be defending the knife when he or she said all knives require care. This is true, but not to the extent this knife does. A dive knife should not require rust removal after every dive. It's a perfectly fine knife for other applications, but it's made of a much too high carbon steel for any application that requires exposure to salt water. The dive knife I owned before this was a 300-399 grade stainless and it never rusted in the six years I had it. I could dive, forget to rinse salt water off, and pick it up several days later to find no rust or corrosion. Of course the downside of low-carbon steel is that it doesn't hold an edge well and is relatively soft, but for diving that doesn't matter much. An edge on a dive knife is pretty pointless as long as it has a notch for cutting line. I only use my dive knives to spike fish after I spear them and the 300-series steel never failed to do that.I haven't had any trouble with the sheath or straps as some others have. I've gone on at least a dozen trips with this knife and they are still intact.I gave it two stars instead of one because it's so cheap, and because you could probably put it to good use in dry applications.

For the price it's not terrible, you get a mean looking double edged blade with a half serrated edge and a line cutter inlet, there was barely an edge to speak of it came stupidly dull out of the box but once sharpened it's made out of a hard steel that should hold the edge moderately well. If you don't know how to sharpen your blade you might want to pay more for one where they actually do it for you. Being made in Taiwan is a plus too I suppose.The holster is rather useless out of the box, the release is difficult to do one handed quickly and nothing in the sheath holds it so it knocks around inside. I ended up just tearing the release mechanic off and sticking some odd scraps of velcro tape into the sheath to hold the blade firmly. The included straps are nice though.

I give this product four stars because i havent used it yet but my neighbor has and he told me it will rust but its stainless so what do u expect? but overall the craftsmanship was good, and it is sharp. O yea he also told me that the holder will dig into your leg once worn for a period of time. Will update on this review after my dive next week. But i order 5 other items with this knife and they all came together, overseas, in less than 10 days!! THANK YOU AMAZON!!

It is what it says it is (if it wasn't, then why would it say it was?) OK, sorry for the digression - this knife is what it says it is. It's not the best quality, but for the price, it's fine. The plastic holster is not going to last long under any duress, I don't imagine, but the knife itself is sturdy and sharp. I can't attest to rust factors as I have yet to use it underwater, but I'm satisfied.

It's a piece of metal. Has straps.If you cannot sharpen it yourself then don't get this knife, or if you buy cheap knives and never uses them. It is hard steel so once you get the edger and keep oil (marine protector silicon works great). I was on a budget and needed a diving knife...thought it'd be trash by now but once its honed( almost shaped) and oiled its worth the cash

knife seems well made, the sheath is durable and and the locking mechanism seems solid and would be very easy to use with thick gloves.the knife can be inserted in the sheath either way so you need to look to see which side has the line cutter when you draw it.I bought this to wear on my forearm and am quite pleased with the slim design of the knife and sheath and the quality of the rubber straps.Price is low enough that I'm not going to get upset if it winds up on the bottom of the ocean.Update:I've had this knife for 4 months and used if more than 60 times, and it's still a decent dive knife, it does rust a bit if I forget to use silicone spray, but a few seconds with sandpaper takes it right off. The included straps work perfectly on arm or leg all though I would trim them if I was going to wear it on my arm exclusively.I'm ordering a second one for a spare.

The sheath its in is ad quality and very loose and moves around easy. Okay knife just needs a good sheath and I woulda been happy with it

I have had one of these for 20 years but as I have been diving only salt water now, the old one was only stainless on the blade so the handle was rusted at the end of each trip. The new blade is all stainless. Just great and what a great price

Knife looks great and fits well with strap however it started to rust the first dive plus it is hard to pull from case as you need two hands to do so. One to grip the knife and one to push the release button. Not great for a quick need.

Cool item. Wish it fit through my fingers. That's not a knife. This is a knife. Perfect for a safari outfit.
