Rigging knife question
 

I know this will 'fly in the face of other theory's, but I don't believe in
carrying a knife that cost more than I can afford to toss overboard..

In other words, The more expensive the knife, The more likely it will be
dropped over the side.

The knife I'm carrying in my pocket right now cost $8 at WM ten years ago
and in the mean time, I have received as gifts, at least 4 expensive
knives.. Two of the latter have gone over board and the other two are too
bulky to carry around, even in a sheath.

If I need more tools that the spike, shackle pin wrench or knife blade, I
have a complete tool cabinet down below.. This knife handles 99% of all
sailing needs..

I don't know about yours, but I found out a long time ago, mine ain't near
as "unsophisticated" as I sometimes wish she was. Read that as, smart
enough to step around the big piles of BS :-) Mine is well aware every
penny spent on "foolish" things directly impacts the number of new earrings.

ah, I don't have one. as a life long bachelor I've been able to take a
somewhat objective role of disinterested observer. :)

however the "need" for a nifty boat knife can be emotional rather than
practical. as I see it all "need" for recreational boating is emotional.
emotional needs are okay. women have lots of 'em, 'way more than men.
that's why my strategy would bo to appeal to a woman's emotional need to
be loved go get myself a nifty boat knife. say it real loud in front of a
lot of strangers and watch 'em cave in. maybe not. :)

could craft such skillful manipulation.

Not any more. She's been "involuntarily separated from the payroll system",
as the Dilbert cartoon described "firing". :-)

Like I tell my wife...
It's not a case of need...it's a case of want!
These knives are produced here in Nova Scotia and I believe they still

have

free 'knife sharpening clinics in various
locations on occasion. I haven't gone in a number of years, but it was

neat

to see the old craftsman do his thing in front of an appreciative

audience.

This is the boating knife I carry...plus a Shhrade Tough Tool

note: 'marlin spike' with slot for shackle pins

I almost bought one of those while visiting Tobermory a few years back.

But,

I made a mistake. My wife asked "Whattya need it for?" I answered
"Need?
Whattya mean?"
