A buncha blades from Davey Jones' locker. The red handled pry bar is for opening abalone. The Puma's handle rotates the blade to allow use of either a straight or serrated edge. The small ones are backup knives. The last 2(black & orange handles) by pulling out a small tab on the handle, allows the blade length to be adjusted from 6 tn 9 inches.

Is the last one in case you need to punch a shark in the nose ? (so he doesn't get your abalone...)
It all makes me miss diving.

That is the Puma Frogmesser. The handle rotates the blade to provide either a straight or serrated edge. Didn't know sharks liked abalone; maybe for inlays on their teeth?

Quite the collection, Ray.
I think I have a United diver's knife that was part of a knife purchase freebie from Cutlery Corner somewhere.
