Overview
Slipping into its magnetic sheath, the Koah Shortie holds a short straight blade made from heat treated steel. A rubber handle and a yellow color make it easy to find, and it is listed for diving, snorkeling, freediving and carving.
Short length and a magnetic sheath make it a small knife that is easy to stow on kit. The listing does not describe how the sheath mounts, and it names nothing about corrosion resistance for salt water.
Who it's for
Snorkelers, freedivers and recreational divers who want a small blade and a sheath that grips by magnet. Anyone who wants a longer knife, a toothed edge or a specific strap mount should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Compact and easy to carry
- Magnetic sheath included
- Rubber handle for grip
- Bright yellow handle
- Mounting straps not listed
- Weight not stated
- Corrosion resistance not described
- Flat edge only, no serrations listed
Performance notes
The compact blade gives control at close range, and the handle is rubber. The magnet holds the knife in the sheath rather than a strap lock, so how firmly it stays put depends on the mount.
