as tough as they come

Not a knife guy, but I was tired of buying cheap products that barely made the grade. I dont' know how the internet decided to show this one to me, but I have a Hobie 16 catamaran, am a DIYer, and in a desirable income bracket for advertisers. Result: perfect match. Bought this originally because I thought it looked cool, and found with time that this rig is as tough as they come. The blade is sharper and stronger than I realized, and on two occasions barely missed cutting my own hide. The handle will not slip your grip. It's shape offers torque and pull for any task. The pliers offer more than just a shackle pin slot, and you will find more opportunities to use this that you haven't imagined yet. The spike. Loosening knots is obvious, but digging, peeling, piercing, line pulling and more are in your pocket. Only reviewing here because I'm reordering to replace the one I had to leave at the border.

Not sharp

I've been sailing for years and always wanted to upgrade to the Myerchin knives. I normally carry an old KaBar rigging knife or a West Marine one. Anyway, I saw this on special and decided it would be a good upgrade so I got one for me and one for my wife. Overall it feels pretty good in the hand. The spike is nice, good point and good curve for tight knots. Lock seems solid. The small pliers are a nice tough for shackles, though the slot most knives have is easier to manipulate on a moving boat. Now the blade. Really disappointed. This does not cut the kind of line you'll find on a sailboat. Just doing some basic rigging on medium line was a fight to get through. Should I ever need to cut a halyard in an emergency, this would not do it. Time to find another pair of sailing knives.
