Overview

On a diver's arm or leg, this Shortie knife rides in a magnetic sheath that holds the blade with sealed rare earth magnets instead of a rubber strap. The grip is high-visibility orange, and adjustable rubber mount straps with clips come with it.

Buy it for the magnetic sheath, which releases and holds the blade without a strap to fiddle with. The limitation is the sparse specs, since the knife's size and rated use are not stated.

Who it's for

Divers who carry a compact knife and like a high-visibility handle. Those who need full blade specifications, or a serrated or tool-style knife, should look elsewhere.

Performance notes

Magnet force alone holds the blade seated, so there is no rubber strap to unhook. The Teflon coating is the blade's protective layer, and the heat-treated steel sets edge hardness. Mounting is by adjustable rubber straps and clips.
