Hello -
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good flash light and knife?
Cheers,
Charlie

I (used to) use this for Ab diving. It is a little bulky but it lights up holes nicely.

Hands down the best dive light I have used is the dark waters 1000 lumen light from red triangle spearfishing.  The list price seems a little high but even at that price it’s worth every penny.  They will usually knock a few bucks off for NCKA members but I have no way to make sure that happens and can’t guarantee it.   If not just wait for a sale and buy one you won’t regret it. 

That U.K. light just doesn’t cut it once you used a really good light. 

As for knives I got away from stubbed nosed knives and stainless steel usually won’t rust as easy but depends on the type of stainless as some have rusted.  Don’t spend a lot on a knife as they are often lost or broken.  I have used or lost more knives than any other diving gear so cheap and sharp works for me.  I usually buy two at a time.

Inside thigh (accessable with either hand):   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DPEDAOK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Both perform well, especially for $15-$20.  The edge on the dagger is not as nice as the Mora, but it's just more of a kill spike.   


Have also heard from several others about the 1000 Lumen Light from Red Triangle.
