Comments about Deluxe Rig Knife:
I am a full-time live-aboard power boater.
BUT: In the summer I help out aboard some of the old "antique" (they don't like to be called that) large sailing vessels. The Tall Ships they call them. Most are a minimum of three, if not three plus a spanker in the way of masts. It usually takes a crew of 25 to raise full sail. And it's a beautiful sight!!!
Pros
- Easy To Use
- Reasonable price
- Simple
Cons
Best Uses
- Sailing
- Small Boats
Comments about Deluxe Rig Knife:
We trailer our sailboat and put it up and down each time. It makes unlocking tight shackels and tight knots easier. Simple without all those extras that are hard to open or you don't need.
Pros
- Lightweight
- Reliable
Cons
- Relatively dull knife
- Very small marlin spike
Best Uses

Comments about Deluxe Rig Knife:
I was nervous about buying this knife at first because it is only [$] But it is pretty solid and has a nice feel in the hand. Knife is pretty sharp and it seems to do the job fine.
