Capt. JG wrote but didn't bother to erase the copy of everything I
originally wrote so I almost missed his question way, way, down at the
bottom:
Where did you get the knife portion?
The link is on the web page but here it is repeated:

Nice unit. Looks like it would be good for repelling borders as well. I
haven't used it for pot warps yet since my other method works so well but
it did a great job of pulling a bunch of weed off the prop that dropped my
speed to 3 knots. I did this from the dock but it still would have been
hard with any other tool I can think of.
The situation I wane to have the knife on board for is snagging a pot
close to a lee shore or obstruction where I need to get the boat sailing
and under control within seconds of clearing it. Even after clearing a
pot warp, I don't like to start the engine until I've turned it a few
times in both forward and reverse with the throttle closed so it can't
start. All the pots I've snagged have been fouled with others so there
could always be a second still around the shaft waiting to be wound into
an unpenetratable blob by the spinning prop.
