Game Shears

Has anyone seen these Game Shears
Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

Stainless and take apart. looks like they might be a solution to the shears vs knife issue. I think someone made a pair like this specifically for divinging but at $6...?

I nominate you to test them and report back to us!

Great price, but the "gut hook" scares me

Could come in handy if your trying to turn your buddy into chum when you see the sharks coming your way

[BuzzGA]

True, but as I tell my buddy. You don't have to out swim the shark, you only have to out swim the slowest person in your group

Gut Hook = Line Cutter

Can never be sure of the quality until you get it in your hands. Please let us know what you think.

Well, I did have my hands on it (I took it out of the package in the store) and I can tell you, it's sharp! But who knows how it'll hold up in salt water. I'm in Colorado and do mostly fresh water diving so I might not be a great tester for the rest of you. I'll get on and see how it stands up over the summer.
I'll need to find/make a sheath for it though.

Get some 2" webbing, double it 2/3 of the way up to make a pocket, then sew on a bit of velcro and use the extra length for a top cover. It takes 20 minutes with a sewing machine and makes a good end product. Or just look at the picture of holsters for shears online and copy those. Very inexpensive and easy to make.
