Safety guidelines for using the Victory Green River Diving Knife and the Spyderco Atlantic Salt.

READ BEFORE USE

General Safety

• Handle all diving knives with care, keeping the blade away from yourself and others.
• Keep knives sheathed or folded when not in use to prevent injuries.
• Store knives out of reach of children. Only adults (18+) may purchase and use these knives.

Correct Use

• Diving knives are designed for emergency underwater use only (e.g., cutting through umbilicals, rope, or netting).
• Use knives only for their intended purposes - avoid using them for prying, hammering, or other unsuitable tasks.
  
• Regularly inspect each knife for wear, especially the blade edge, handle, and sheath (or folding mechanism).
  

Diving Safety

• Secure your knife using the sheath, straps, or pocket clip provided with your specific model.
• Practice drawing and sheathing (or folding/unfolding) the knife before diving for smooth handling underwater.
• Be mindful of your surroundings while using any knife underwater to avoid injuring yourself, your dive buddy, or marine life.
  

Maintenance and Care

• Rinse knives thoroughly with fresh water after every dive to remove salt, sand, or debris.
• Dry completely before storing to prevent rust, corrosion, or degradation of moving parts.
• Apply a light protective oil coating to maintain sharpness and blade durability.
• Check sheaths, folding mechanisms, and fasteners for wear - replace when necessary.
  

Legal and Ethical Considerations

• Be aware of local laws regarding the carrying and use of diving knives in your area.
• Always respect marine life - use knives only in emergencies and avoid unnecessary harm to underwater environments.
• Global Diving Magnets Ltd does not accept liability for accidents or misuse of these products.

Potential Emergency Situations

• Ensure you are confident and trained in the safe, controlled use of your diving knife in emergency scenarios.
• Keep your knife readily accessible for quick deployment during critical situations, such as entanglements or equipment snags.
