This knife is almost perfect. Unfortunately mine takes over 50lb. of pressure to release the marlin spike (checked it on a scale). Hopefully this one is just defective, but I won't be ordering another.

Comments about Performance Rigging Knife:
This is a good sturdy knife with a very sharp blade. I am not so concerned that the blade does not lock as many other knives do not lock as well. It is quite heavy and maybe not the best knife to carry around in your pocket all day. It is very well made and seems to hold up to a number of uses each day.
