Over the years I have seen many sailors knives. Those knives have proved to be both durable and dependable, but I have long felt that a modern design was needed. I have had requests from sailors for a knife with current materials and technical features. Those included a folder with locking mechanisms for both the marlin spike and the blade, and serrations on the front end of the blade.
The A. G. Russell™ SeaMaster™ has a 3-1/4" flat ground blade of ATS-34 high carbon stainless at 59-61 Rc. with serrations on the front half of the blade instead of the back half. The 2-3/4" marlin spike is 303 stainless, not hardened. Both are coated with a special coating composed of both Titanium and aluminum, with a hardness of 80 Rc. and great rust resistance. As a part of the 4-1/8" Titanium handle are two Frame-Locks that lock both the blade and the spike in the open position. Made in Italy.
