Myerchin A508 and A500
All stainless
One peice construction very simplistic and effective.
i like the shackle opener in the handle rather than on the blade to avoid cutting ropes etc.
the A508 I like more for my belt loop/leg knife when working on boats as its super fast to draw.
A500 sits small of back and on my safety harness.
I've been using my A500 as a bait knife too, works great, will cut everything under the sun and when you beat the tip on the rocks... just sharpen it again and be done with it.
I've held the Shark version, and definitely prefer the bead blasted grip of the A500 over it. Even when your hands are covered in slime.
I've considered even wrapping the grip with paracord on my 500 just out of adding grip/having spare line around.
As far as safety, I think most dive knives might be a little on the heavy side and won't list then (unless you'd like to me) as far as what I've used, but they're mostly salvage/tech dive knives with carbide on the spine to hack away at thin cable and whatnot.
