Kayak paddle knife!?

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?

You didn’t PM him. You posted in an open forum for all to see and respond to. You also made the ridiculous assertion that it was somehow wrong to defend yourself from a wild animal attack. Anyway, thanks for answering my question.

Hello!

I bought myself a fishing Kayak and need a paddle, but not just any paddle, I want two defensive blades at the tip of each paddle blade.

It sounds silly, I know. And some will say it's probably dangerous, which is may be. But at the end of the day, makos, hammer heads, tigers and gators are in the areas I'm fishing in. I can't say I'll ever be in the mood to be continually bumped by any of these predators on their turf where they have a sharp advantage.

Enter this forum. I am going to ask the paddle maker to include two blades. I don't want them to be constructed of carbon fiber. I think titanium would be better.

I will also use these blades to push off of stuff.

So, knife makers, is anyone willing to help me with this? In my minds eye, I think of a long shank to spread the force out into the paddle blad itself. I'm also thinking of something like a flattened/angular chickenwing elbow. The blade will only be about two inches along the edge of the paddle edge and 1/4 inch out. I'd also like a spike about 1 inch long from one edge. Not really enough length to kill these animals, but plenty to get their attention that this fish ain't food. No idea how to upload a picture.....

Any thoughts?

How is the paddle knife doing for you?
 
Hahaha. That's pretty funny. We actually used to live about 6 min from the beach. But shortly after this thread we moved to a land locked state. There's no water around here except for a few little ponds with probably the same amount of roundup as water.

My glorious kayak and all the gear I got for it lives in storage now.
 
I know. I'm bummed too. Maybe one day I'll be back in a kayakable area, in which case I'll hit up Mecha again to complete this.
