Longnose Spurdog Enamel Pin (Squalus mitsukurii)
The longnose spurdog is the kind of shark that doesn’t need theatrics to be unsettling—it just hovers in the gloom, all needle-nose precision and quiet judgment. Squalus mitsukurii prowls the dim continental slopes up to 950 meters deep, armed with two dorsal fin spines and the kind of unblinking stare that says, “I’ve seen some things, and none of them impressed me.” It’s a slow, deliberate predator, a study in minimalism where efficiency replaces flash. This hard enamel pin captures its understated menace and hydrodynamic elegance in polished metal and rich enamel—no submersible or bribes to a deepwater trawler necessary.
Specs:
- Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
- Secure clasp so your spurdog doesn’t “swim off”
- Size: 44.5 x 29.5mm
- Completely safe for your local swimming pool
Ideal for lovers of subtle sharks, slow-burn predators, and the kind of marine biology that hides in the shadows until it’s ready to strike.
