If you think you have seen this knife before it has made a number of appearances on th TV show Naked and Affraid. The Mako Shark is a unique blend of a number of different style blades. This combination of blades creates a large utility knife with cutting power and the ability to do fine detailed work. With a Tri Zone convex grind this knife can do anything from a full swing to whittle. A change of angle at the tip allows you to do wrist snap cuts in tight areas as well as pestle style cuts. A weight forward design makes this an aggressive cutter. Each blade has three grind zones; thin just in front of the handle. A bit thicker at the sweet spot to get materiel to pop. At the tip there is a medium grind for tip strength but it is still thin enough for piercing and quick cuts on fine material. A full convexed grind in combination with Diving Sparrows heat treat creates a proven edge for long lasting use.
