In ages past, sailors almost always carried knives that were hafted with bone or exotic wood. Our modern version is truly a working Sailor's knife. The serrated blade makes fast work of cutting rope, the oval eye in the blade makes opening easier when your hands are wet and cold.
The locked 3-1/8" marlin spike is released by the large shackle. The 2-3/4" blade is AUS8 high carbon stainless steel at 57-59 Rc. Bleached bone handle scales are great for schrimshaw. Weighs 4.3 oz.
