I can just see you now on the slips late at night with your "switchspike"
knife... "gimme all your anchors or I'll splice you to the mainbrace"

Jokes asside, the switchblade, well made, is a great boat knife if you don't
want a fixed blade diving knife which I also keep handy. A true sailing version
would be a great item, though not legal in NY I'm afraid. I've yet to see a
sailing knife that could be easily open with one hand. The shackle key is even
harder to open!
