There are a lot of angles and potential tripping catch points on the end of the blade. Look like a nightmare for any moving around on a boat with them on. I wonder whether they're made from the HD or original RK3 material.
 
I had my mitts on these in the UK a while ago, didn't get to dive them sadly as Super isn't being released until 2025 according to the rep I was speaking to.

They're inbetween the RK3 and RK3HD weight wise, and stiffer than the base RK3. The tip still flexes and snaps back so I suspect those wanting something less floppy than the regular RK3 will like them, unless you have a shoe size over 10UK.
 
Gotta be honest, I like the look of the RK3 better. Hope it doesn't get dropped in favor of the RK4.
 
I like the Apeks RK3HD. Isn't the normal RK3 and Aqualung Rocket-II on the military supply lists? I think that makes them less likely to be dropped as the paperwork is expensive. Yes I like the RK3 look better, something about that classic jetfin look.

Regarding the new design looks interesting. It depends on material stiffness etc., hard to say without trying, but I bet the alternatives mentioned above are fine. Good to have choices...

My first association was with a stealth bomber btw...
