Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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!

The locking marlinspike (well, you need to hold the shackle forward) makes it hugely useful in untying the most recalcitrant of knots. The spike, knife blade and shackle key all have great snap and hold their positions well. Whether i refine the spike...  Read More

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.

Great to have three essential tools in one convenient wellmade product

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The lanyard clip serves as a lock for the marlinspike but not the blade but the blade spring is stiff enough that i dont care


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Knife blade is only beveled on one side and it is not very sharp would not cut a rope


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I usually read the negative comments and was reluctant to buy this since so many people believed they didnt get the real thing or what was pictured


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    All major parts seem like stainless steel


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Like a lawn mower blade only one side is ground
