The Rob Allen X-Blade 2 is a 180 mm dive knife for spearfishing, with a dagger blade and a low-profile build that reduces the risk of snagging on lines. A built-in extractor in the handle helps free stuck shafts from rocks, and the supplied sheath mounts to the calf or forearm so the knife is always within reach.

How to use and care
A dive knife is a safety tool as well as a hunting tool, so carry it where you can reach it with either hand if you become tangled in line. Choose calf or forearm mounting to suit your wetsuit and setup. After each dive, rinse the knife and sheath with fresh water, dry the blade and store the knife out of the sheath so moisture does not sit against it. Keep the edge protected and sharpen it carefully when needed. Many spearfishers carry a second knife as a backup, and it is worth practising drawing the knife and using the shaft extractor in calm water so you can do it quickly if you ever need to. Always handle the blade carefully when it is out of the sheath, and keep it away from children.
