Review: Marlinspike is too sharp - This is a good enough knife. Hand filling, a large enough blade that can be resharpened, the marlinspike locks open and stays locked in use. The only real flaw is, as it arrives the spike is WAY too sharp. Besides being a stabbing hazard in use, the purpose of the spike is to part the lays of a line for splicing, or to get a stubborn knot untied. This spike is so sharp it severs the threads of the line, weakening it. All one has to do is file the extreme point off the spike’s tip, and then round it over with the file or sandpaper. When you’ve finished, drag the spike over your thumbnail. It shouldn’t grab. If it does, round and smooth it some more. Just a matter of minutes, really. Now the marlinspike can properly perform its job. Make sure you put an 18” or so long line through the spike release and attach this thing to your belt. It doesn’t float.
Review: Very good quality, feels sturdy. - This is a very nice quality riggers knife. The blade does not wiggle loosely in the front bolster, and neither does the spike in the rear bolster. The blade does need sharpening as many less expensive knives do these days, but a quick touch on a very fine stone, followed by a good stropping, took care of that. The blade does NOT have a lock, but the spike does. The spike IS VERY pointed and if not carful could damage small stuff like paracord. I did reshape the tapper to a more gradual profile. In addition, I eased the portion of the rear bolster, where the spike is pinned, to remove the sharp corners of the brass when the spike is deployed. Overall a very nice knife that should give many years of use, if taken care of properly.

*by J***E on April 7, 2017*

My Dad was a big Schrade fan when they where made downstate NY (grew up there). Since production was moved overseas, I did not want to buy. I needed a mariner style knife that I would not care if it ended up in the Fingerlakes. So I purchased this knife. Quite surprised! Quality is pretty damn good (there are some grinding marks on the blade edge that I can remove myself)). Marlin Spike locks tight and secure. Blade has a VERY slight wobble, BUT if the blade was tighter in the bolsters, it would be difficult to open. Is it Made in NY Schrade? No, but for 20 bucks, it is a very good value. Also, on a small note, the note regarding cancer causing materials (that comes in the box) does not refer to the knife, but the preservative oil it comes coated from the factory in.
