Cuda Titanium Bonded Marlin Spike Folding Knife, Blue

Product Information

A well-built, solid handle goes a long way with knives because this part houses the tools and takes the brunt of most of the forces applied to the blade. So if you have a weak handle, then the knife might not last long. So it might be best to go with something like Carbon fiber, or synthetic polymer like G10 or otherwise wood is a good option. It slices through webbing and rope easily, but isn’t easy to use against a cutting mat due to its shape. When not in use, the blade folds away into the handle leaving you with a compact, safe knife to clip to your belt or buoyancy aid. The chunky plastic handle is utilitarian rather than showy It’s clearly tough, but unlike some knives on test, has no sharp or jutting edges that might mark It’s at this point you’ll be eternally grateful that you opted for one of the best safety knives, a good quality bit of kit rather than a cheap, flimsy piece of rubbish that is rusted and brittle and leaves you still in danger or worse, injured as a result.

I always have wanted to have a sailing knife with a marlin spike attached to it so I finally decided to pull the trigger on the Camillus boating knife. They have two versions, but I am glad that I went with the bamboo version, because I heard that the other model has a slippery grip. First off, not all knives come equipped with either a sheath or belt clip. However, for the ones that do, you may not find them all that comfortable or convenient to wear. Sheaths can be strapped to the outside of wet weather sailing gear and belt clips can be worn on the hip. Your personal preference will determine how you will carry your knife. Blade Edge The handle has been designed to provide excellent grip in the dry and the wet and its bright orange colour ensures this knife will be easy to spot even in low visibility conditions. Although the Leatherman Wave has become popular with sailors for its wide and well-judged array of tools, for price reasons we chose a relatively conservative multi-tool, the Leatherman Fuse, with only 12 features additional to the knife.To cut rope easily, ensure the blade is at least 2.5 inches long. A longer blade is undoubtedly beneficial, but it also makes the knife challenging to store. Keep that in mind and choose the knife accordingly. Grip There are a few different blade materials used in sailor’s knives. They include cobalt and stainless steel. Cobalt will resist corrosion. Stainless steel can as well, with high-quality stainless steel performing better than cheaper low-quality steel. Carbide blades continue to get harder with use. Knife Sheath/Belt Clip 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. Centuries later, the "Sheepsfoot Blade" is probably still one of the best for cutting rope & lines.

The best boat knife will be a life saver and a constant sailing companion for years to come. Make sure you find the right one that suits you and what you want from it. Cutting Rope: The knife blade on a marlin spike knife is serrated and is designed to cut through rope easily. This is useful when ropes need to be shortened or when a rope needs to be cut in an emergency. A: A fixed blade will give you peace of mind regarding durability and sturdiness, but a folding blade can house multiple tools and has an increased variety of uses.

Bottle Openers, Corkscrews, Magnifying Glasses, etc A knife that can saw through a polypropylene fishing line wrapped around your prop may fare less well faced with a Dyneema halyard jammed in a riding turn.
