A quality fixed blade knife is required gear for extreme surfcasting. I use the TUSA X-Pert II dive knife on the side of my right leg.
The lock on the sleeve keeps the knife secure while you are swimming to remote rocks or skishing. The release button is large enough so you can release the knife with gloves on.
The knife comes with a 420 stainless steel blade or a titanium blade. I chose the high carbon stainless steel blade because it keeps an edge better. The higher carbon in the stainless steel protects against corrosion. After each trip, I quickly break down the knife and rinse down the one piece blade.
A blunt point blade or a drop point blade is available. For extreme surfcasting, I use a drop point blade. Why? Just in case I need to make a point! 😉
A fixed blade knife with a bleeding sharp edge is useless if you cannot hold on to it. The smart engineers at Tusa did a great job designing an ergonomic handle for the TUSA X-Pert II knife.
If you need a knife for extreme surfcasting, pick up a TUSA X-Pert II knife with a high carbon stainless steel blade and drop point. Great knife at a price that will not break the bank. 😉
