Overview
"Mostly a safety knife and a rigging knife, the Boye Sheepsfoot has a straight edge and blunt tip and is mostly serrated. The Sheepsfoot design is especially for freeing lines in rough conditions common on boats at sea. This knife is easy to carry and deploy with either hand, from a pocket or a belt sheath, and can be closed and replaced with either hand. It will part virtually any line or any number of them safely. It can be used for hours on end and still cut effectively, as in freeing a fouled prop or line or net. This knife can also cut bread and cheese and make sandwiches as well as the pointed blade, but it doesn't cut down on a board so well and won't scrape hides.""The titanium marlinspike/shackle key is like a second blade - a dull one that can untie knots - small and large - like magic, or separate strands for splicing. It can be used as a pry bar. The swivel anchor is very strong and stops in the open position facing the direction to unscrew shackle keys that are stuck closed. The flat spike feels good as part of the grip and balances the titanium clip on the other side of the handle."
