If we can all just move past the name, though, there’s a lot to like about the Camillus 6.5 Inch Sheepsfoot-style Knife with Marlin Spike and G10 Scales Probably Made in China and Weighing Approximately 3 Ounces. Then I wouldn’t have to do a word dance with my recommendations: “No, the 6.5 inch marlin spike knife is the one with G10 scales and a wider blade the 7.5 inch marlin spike knife is the one that looks like a toothpick.” They could call that one the “Bamboo Boating knife” or even “Boat Knife 2”. I would have made fun of that name, but at least it would be easier for me to tell people about it, and to distinguish from the Camillus 7.5 inch knife with Marlin Spike (complete with bamboo scales). They could have called it the “Boating Knife” for all I care. I don’t need a grocery list when I buy Cheezits, because Cheezits are the reason I’m at the store in the first place.)Ĭamillus didn’t even have to come up with a good name for this knife so long as it was a little shorter than a comprehensive description of what it is. It’s technically true, but it makes the grocery list look more complicated than it needs to be (Please note: this is a joke.

I get that it can be hard to name knives, but listing this knife literally as “Camillus 6.5 inch with Marlin Spike” is like printing “Roughly 1 inch Square Cheese Cracker Things” on a box of Cheezits. I need to get this out of the way first because it drives me crazy: Plastic lanyard hole is too large / feels weakĬheck Price on Blade HQ Check Price on Amazon
#10 inch tactical spike full
There are a couple small details that keep this multi-tool from reaching its full potential, but it’s become one of my favorite irregular carries throughout the week. This design gives you both tools in a small handle that ends up being pretty easy to use. Anytime they needed to switch from untying a rope to cutting a rope they had to reach into their pocket again. Putting a rope cutter and a marlin spike in one package is a pretty brilliant move as I’ve been told several times by my brother (who would probably be writing this review if he weren’t busy lounging on top of his mountain of bushcraft knives) that in the navy they used to carry marlin spikes all the time, but they carried them separately as their own tool. It was designed mostly for boating activities: the blade was made to cut rope, the spike is for untying knots, and the lanyard loop seems to assume you will be surrounded by cords. The Camillus 6.5 Inch knife with a marlin spike has probably been the most surprising knife I’ve bought with this intention. I’m always on the search for cheap, useful knives because I enjoy the feeling of being surprised that something was useful after I only spent $20 on it.
