Sailor's Rigging Knife ~

Great all-around knife for waterman and landlubber alike. Sailor's Rigging Knife is from the work ethic of tough men and women who still make their living at sea. This knife design is optimized for completing serious tasks in demanding conditions. The blade is wide but not too long, and it has no sharp, stabbing point. This sturdy construction allows for its principal task: to cut rope, everything from fine cording to heavy ship's mooring line. The heft of the 1" wide blade makes it strong enough to take a light blow from a mallet, to help cut through stubborn rope. The wide bolster and tail that bookend the handle protect the hands from sliding along the blade and make it harder to accidentally slip from your grasp when working aloft, in pitching conditions, or on slippery decks. A  3" stainless-steel blade, wood handle, and brass bolsters with a spike in the side pocket. Overall length is 7-1/2". Comes with a leather belt-sheath.

The brand is not marked on the knife , but it has a Mermaid logo stamped on the blade.
