So if you ever come across Shimano fishing shears (green handles and 20mm shear blades) buy all you can find. Strap one to your wrist/ torch/whatever and flog the rest to your friends. Trauma shears - useless for anything other than mono or trashing your mates drysuit as you thump their chest! |
Brilliant japandiver... I love it when someone comes up with this kind of info
I'll have to dig out my old faithfull filleter and see if is Japanese made - I've a funny feeling it is!
Dive safe japandiver and don't molest the Ama
