DISQUS

Rich · 2 years ago

I have an old spyderco rescue for deck work that I used. But I also like the myerchin L300P for bumming around the quarters. Its the one with the pen light and marlin spike. Blade is not as sharp or as durable as the spyderco though.

I like the myerchin too but I don't like the pointed tip... at least not on deck

I was checking out Spyderco Knives over at Direct Tools just the other day. Great selection. My favorite, even though its not a Spyderco, are Dozier's. Very nice!

I agree, spyderco makes the best knifes!

Myerchin and Gerber knives for me. But I have never tried a Spyderco. I did break the blade of my first Myerchin while working as a damage inspector in the Port of Helsinki. Now that I know it is not indestructible, I treat the second one with a little more respect.

Gerber does a great 'Leatherman'

Based on the product review here for the Assist, I ordered one. Exceeds my expectations. Please note that the photo above represents an older model. The new Assist has a blunt squared off tip. Very sharp combo blade. I tested the rope cutting feature and it performs as reported. Apply Locktite to the clip anchor point, a drop of Breakfree CLP to the hinge lock point, and loop 12"-16" of orange or red paracord to the knife.

When I worked on tall ships I used to carry one of Myerchin's sheath rigging knives. It was a great blade that stood up pretty well. I've also used their folding knives before. The blade is excellent and the marlinspike is good for light use. However, if you're going to be using the marlinspike for heavier duty actions like breaking shakles I wouldn't reccomend it, I always feel like I'm going to break it off every time I put pressure on it.

I would have to say SOG knives are some of the best made.

When working on deck, i swear by an Opinel knife.
They are very resistant to grease and dirt, stay quite sharp, i like thus for my work on 'dirty dredgers'.
(they dont have a spring-locking system)
Above all they won't cost more then 15$.
If you dislike the pointed shape, grind it away (goes without saying...)
Ow, yeah, they float too, because of the wooden handle.
