Dynamis Alliance has been evaluating their prototype Neptune Dive Blade with a goal of producing the single most versatile and useful dive blade in the world. It also has to be Made in USA.
They are looking at long term compatibility with their existing IWB/IWS sheath as well as Salt Water corrosion on the metal they have selected. The metal and hardening processes is the single biggest factor in price point so this is an area where it will be worth spending some extra time and research.
The mission continues…
