Where are you fishing that has alligators and sharks in the same water?.

Florida Keys has both, as does at least the Florida Coast from Miami to the Pan Handle. (Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts.) Gulf coast of Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, and portions of Texas near/adjacent to Louisiana.
I know for a fact both are also in Tampa Bay. I've seen them with my own eyes, when I was living aboard my then boss' sailboat, at marinas in both Tampa, and St. Pete. :)
I'm not sure how far north along the Florida east coast from Miami towards Georgia and South Carolina the Gaters and/or Crocks go.

I'm pretty sure at least part of the Mississippi River Delta also has both, as Bull Sharks can (and do) thrive in freshwater. The state of Mississippi has gators.
Bull Sharks have been found in the Mississippi River as far north as St. Louis, MO. Allegedly, the lock and dam in St. Louis keeps them from going farther north.
Personally, I don't buy it. They could go through with one (or more) of the barges or other boats headed north. I suspect the Bull Sharks are in the Mississippi River as far north as Minnesota ... the locks and dams not withstanding. The locks and dams haven't stopped other invasive species. Why would the Bull Shark be the exception?

Florida keys also has massive saltwater crocodiles.
 
why not just have the paddles themselves be blades?? I'm envisioning giant gec sunfish style blades on either end....those would probably work as paddles...might be a tad heavy but it would look cool lol

I've never been kayaking, in the ocean or otherwise, but I'm thinking that if you stab a shark with a paddle, it might get stuck and yanked or thrashed out of your hands, and now you're stuck in the water with a pissed off shark and no paddle. Do kayakers carry extra paddles?

String from paddle to boat. But also, the blade isn't a big flat blade. It's conicle and shaped like a sharks tooth (at the advice of Mecha). It's also not very long. An inch or two. Again, enough to get show the animal your not harmless to be around, but not enough to kill it.
 
Wasn't the Wasp knife made to blow up sharks with CO2? Attach one of these to both end of your paddle.

I've been wondering about this for a long time. Is a sickle OK for paddling too? I don't think so.

I feel a Tanto paddle will give you the best of both worlds.

Obviously some modification may be required. Just planting the seed...

Actually, you don't sound silly. While kayaking through dangerous places, you must always be prepared to defend yourself. Carrying a shotgun or any kind of firearm is a good idea, but not the only one. At the end of the day, the firearm could get wet and compromise your defense. However, wanting your paddles to have blades at the tip is dangerous. Considering that kayaks are getting better and better, the risk is decreasing every year. There are fewer possibilities to harm your kayak now than ten years ago.

Isn't this the same comment you made earlier just longer?

Is this an attempt at a joke or are you a little slow?

With all due respect
Considering the fact I wrote my comment at Dec31 2020 ! I am asking you:
Is this an attempt to be rude because you are just bored or are you a little slow?
