Product Information

Knife Sheath: It’s important to get a knife with a belt clip or sheath. Look for a sheath that is comfortable to wear and can be easily attached to your gear or body parts. Keep in mind that a sailing knife should be also comfortable while holding it. A good grip and a handle with a texture/surface are important in terms of usage, handling, and comfort. Take the paper test as an example: It would beat any knife I have except the shortness of the blade makes long cuts hard to maintain, especially since the edge is straight and there’s no recurve to hook into the cut. You either have to find that perfect slicing angle or constantly change the angle to keep the cut going.

This is important because knots weaken the rope and can cause it to break under pressure. A marlin spike is used to open the strands of the rope and separate them so that they can be woven together with another rope.Now having said this is for rope, I guess I should get that test out of the way. So does it cut rope?
