 It Works Dec 07, 2010
By David Baker
This knife will likely not impress people who work on tall rigs, scrimshaw nostalgic types, or folks who can braid picture frames, but is more than sufficient for a pocket cruiser / day sailor and the price is very fair.
Mine is used in blue water conditions as a beater / utility quality rigging tool. New out of the box, the blade came dull as a butter-knife and the milled edge was crooked. This is a tough steel and it took a LONG time to rework the edge, but it DID take a sharpening with an aggressive stone.
Spike works great, shackle key works great, screwdriver end has never seen use, but looks well designed and substantial. Lanyard loop position locks the spike in place. No sign of rust or corrosion after several seasons wet. Blade does not lock open, but the hold system works well enough. When folded, all tools rise out of the handle enough to allow you to pull them open; even with cold, numb, sore, or tired fingers; a great design consideration if you are shopping specifically for a folding-type rigging knife.

 Solid Tool May 27, 2010
By Grant Fritchey
I wanted a knife to keep with my bag of paracord so that I had something available any time I was working on a project. I received this as a recommendation because of some of the books on knots that I had purchased. The inclusion of a marlin spike made the knife attractive and the price was right, so I bought it. I'm happy I did. This is a solid tool. It's well constructed and tight. While the blade doesn't lock, it has a set position that does a good job of keeping it from closing on your fingers, but since it's just a cutting implement, with no ability to poke or gouge with, that's unlikely to happen anyway. Over several months of use now it's kept a great edge and it's easy to sharpen. It's cutting my rope quite well, and I couldn't be happier with it.

 Good Knife But Don't Twist it Jun 01, 2011
By netsirk77
I bought this knife because it's as close to a replacement for my father's rigging knife I could find. The price is right but the blade comes so dull you can't slice bread. Sharpened it holds its edge very well tho. The spike locks well. I lubed it before using around water and haven't had a problem. Sadly tho I have gone through two of these knives. The first was used to open a beer bottle and the pin behind the blade that keeps it stiff snapped. I had it replaced and a few months later under normal use (no beer bottle opening) the locking pin behind the spike broke as well. I got a 3rd as a gift but this will be Davis' last chance with me. I'll have to go with something more substantial next time.

Good knife, misleading image. Jun 02, 2011
By pockets
This knife is very well made. The spike, knife blade and shackle key all have great snap and hold their positions well. The only thing I don't like is that the marlin spike is not shaped like it shows in the picture. Every marlin spike I have seen is gradually tapered. This spike is one consistent diameter three quarters of the way to the point and then ground sharply conical to the tip. Maybe this is a recent design change but it does not look like the picture provided. I am curious as to whether other owners knives are like this. I think I might have bought a different knife had this been apparent. Either change the picture to represent the actual tool or better yet, make the spike a continues taper. I still like the tool and think it is a great value for how well it is made and will function just fine for me. I just think accurate information, especially a photo, is important when buying on line.

Good quality, right features, reasonable price Jun 25, 2010

The knife has held up well. Unfortunately, I lost it, so I'm buying another. Since I'm here, I thought I should follow up with my experience over the last year: Thumbs up, I'm buying an identical replacement.

This knife has exactly the right tools -- knife blade, marlinspike, and shackle key. Most rigging knives have the "shackle key" built into the knife blade, which is a tremendous safety problem. The Davis Instruments Deluxe Rigging Knife does not have that problem -- the shackle key and marlinspike are separate tools, which work very well. It it the highest quality? No, but it is very good quality for the price. It's holding up well, so far.
