Pros & Cons
Pros
The blade sharpens well and holds an edge. The shackle key is a real saver on deck. Two or three light passes on an oiled arkansas stone and the blade became a straight razor!

Price is good, the shipping is fast. Similar to the one sold by amazon.
Cons
The knife i received is not the knife pictured by this seller. This discrepancy has been going on since 2012, according to an earlier review. I plan to toss it in the second deepest part of the puerto rico trench.
How hard is it to depict what is being sold? The whole transaction gets one, for deception. There is no excuse for this to have gone uncorrected for five years.
Shackle key is weak. Knife is very hard to open and close, doesn't lock, and has grit all over it. The ergonomics are not great.
Highlights
Quality
Has provided quality nautical products for over fifty years
Decent quality and should provide many years of reliable service
Mine was exactly as pictured but just with the loop marlinspike and the dull blade
Price
It is reliable and certainly a good price
Competitiveness
Great to have three essential tools in one convenient wellmade product
It is not a spyderco knife but for the money it seems like a reasonable value

If you read the fine print on many of the alternatives only one part may be stainless

Put a wrist loop on it so it doesnt go to neptune or mar the deck
