Superb safety knife.
Any form of recreational or professional sailing involving ropes means that a super sharp knife, capable of cutting through tough ropes is essential. It needs to have: Single handed opening.. check Strong lanyard loop or hole...check Sufficiently small when folded to be tucked into a life jacket pocket and with no parts that can snag on a rope: it comes with a clip which you can remove if you need to. It must be razor sharp, check a serrated and very very sharp blade. In addition the tool has a very handy plier, gripper, and integrated shackle key (part of the pliers). And a locking marlin spike which is very good quality and most importantly round in profile rather than square. The quality is first class, beautifully made and a step up on the usual sailor's Jack knife.
