The rigging knife is used to cut large ropes. You can drive the knife into the rope to sever it. This type of knife is often called a rescue knife and is considered an essential part of emergency gear. The handles of the rescue knife are easy to grip when your hands are cold and wet or you are wearing gloves. You can use the shackle key to unscrew threaded shackles. It is also used for turning deck plates. The flathead screwdriver is always handy, too. One thing to keep in mind is that even though the knife is made of stainless steel, it can still be damaged by exposure to saltwater. For this reason, it is suggested that you coat it with lubricating oil at least a few times a year. What is a Marlin Spike Used For? The marlin spike knife is used by sailors to tie knots, splice rope ends together, and for sewing. It can be used for opening the strands of rope when creating eyes or inserting objects into it. It is also used to pry open knots that have tightened with use. In addition, It can be used as a lever to help tighten rope when you are creating the marlin spike hitch. This method allows you to make the knot much tighter than by using only your hands.
