The Rob Allen Dentex is a compact diving knife for spearfishing and scuba diving. It is built as a single piece from Japanese AUS 8 stainless steel for structural strength, and the stiletto-style blade profile gives direct penetration. The knife is supplied with a Rob Allen Pancake sheath that holds the blade securely by friction and allows fast one-handed release. It is made in South Africa by Rob Allen, a brand known for robust, reliable gear.

Who it is for
The Dentex is aimed at spearfishers and divers who want a small knife that is always on the body, for example to dispatch fish or to cut line in an emergency. Carry it where it is easy to reach with either hand, such as on the forearm or calf, and practise drawing it so you can do it without thinking. Always follow local rules about carrying knives. After each dive, rinse the knife and sheath in fresh water, dry the blade and wipe it lightly, since all stainless steel needs care in saltwater.
