MAKO Spearguns: Kona Kill Knife Shipment

[MAKO Spearguns]

Hey Guys,

I just received another shipment of my Italian made MAKO Kona Kill Knives.

This is the exact same high quality knife that is sold by the most expensive companies.

That’s right! They use the exact same factories as I do. In some cases, such as this, they sell the exact
same products as the MAKO brand.

But, because I sell direct to Divers, instead of through dive shops, my prices are much less!

Same Factories – Same High Quality – No Dive Shop Markup!

This post reminds me of an idea that has been fermenting. We all know that sheath's knife retainers are... not ideal. Have you ever experimented with rare-earth magnets imbedded in the handle and sheath?

That is an interesting idea. Thanks! I know from other marine applications that those magnets need to be isolated or sealed from sea water or corrosion can become an issue, but that should not preclude their use. We haven't worked on something like that, but maybe we should.

Spearfisherman tend to use their knives a lot - for humanly dispatching the fish (by braining it), for gutting the fish prior to placement in the cooler and sometimes to cut up chum etc. Often this is on the surface where a dropped or lost knife would be unrecoverable.

Many divers use a loop of bungi cord attached to the hole in the end of the knife. This allows the bungi to be placed over the bottom end of the sheath providing extra security and it can also serve as a loose (and safe) wrist lanyard during in-water use which makes dropping it harder.
