Sailors Tool Linerlock Silver

This tool is exactly as shown and functions as advertised. The marlinspike and blade both lock solidly in place when opened and both are very sturdy. The blade is extremely sharp. The tool is well designed and fits comfortably in the hand when in use. The plier is a bonus and easily opens shackles, wing nuts and such. All in all, a great little tool that should serve well for many years.

I bought one of these in March of 2016 and it is one of my favorite Amazon purchases. I do tree work, and this is the perfect knife to keep on my saddle while climbing. Pliers are for shackle pins (we use a lot of shackles for rigging and climbing setups) and the marling spike can't be beat for getting a stubborn knot out of the ropes when they get heavily shock loaded. The drop point blade is easy to sharpen, stays sharp for a very long time. Great product!

i got one of these about 15 years ago and used the heck out of it, eventually i lost it durring one move or another, but the new one looks just as good as my old one did. only complant is that the marlin spike is very sharp! my old one had a nice rounded tip, this one is so sharp i wouldnt want to use it on any looser bound ropes like spectra or vectran before i smooth it down a bit.

Good materials, good fit of parts and good fit in my hand. Cutting blade is single edged and well polished. Opens and closes well, locks with confidence. Everything is centered and well done for a knife of this price. My only “meh” is the finish of the aluminum-it reminds me of a Christmas ornament. They do make the same knife with different handles, I would likely prefer blue or red. Happy with this knife!

I am a sailor. I have used my knife in the Caribbean for years. It has not rusted (I do clean and oil regularly). Once I had to go underwater to cut some line away from my propeller. The serrated blade cut through it and the pliers helped in removing it. The grip is large enough so that you have a steady platform while using it. The pick on the knife is strong. I have used it multiple times to undue stubborn knots and tight shackle pins etc. You will not regret buying this knife.

What I was looking for. Knots don’t stand a chance.

Looks like a very well made product. Knife is sharp, design is great. Just received it, so don't know about the durability yet.

Very Good Tool I've noticed that everyone is talking about the pliers for shackles but no one mentions how good they are at assisting the spike for unjamming knots.drm
