Sea-Dog Stainless Steel Rigging Knife with Marlin Spike, 8-7/16 Inch Blade, 565050-1

The Sea-Dog 565050-1 Rigging Knife is a multi-tool marine knife built for sailors, riggers, and anglers who need a compact, corrosion-resistant tool on hand. Constructed of 304 stainless steel, it combines a sharp fixed blade with a Marlin spike, a shackle key, a screw driver, and a bottle opener in one handle, so a single tool covers line work, shackle pins, small fasteners, and everyday deck tasks. The blade measures 8-7/16 inches and the Marlin spike measures 2-1/2 inches, giving enough reach to splice line or free a jammed shackle without extra tools. A loop is built into the handle for attaching a lanyard (lanyard not included), letting the knife be tethered to a belt, PFD, or rigging so it is not lost overboard. The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion from saltwater spray and marine environments, making this knife suited to long-term use on deck, at the helm, or in a tackle or tool box. Its compact, all-in-one design makes it a practical addition for sailboat rigging, fishing trips, and general marine utility work where a dedicated marlinspike knife is needed.
