Dendritic Cobalt Boat Knives From David Boye Offer Consistently High Performance

Nearly 40 years into a career that has seen him emerge as one of the most respected knifemakers in the country, David Boye continues to push the envelope in fashioning sailing knives that combine traditional craftsmanship and leading edge technology. In recent years Boye has brought his keen sense of inventiveness, design sense, and years of knife making experience to the field of boat knives, becoming among the first to offer dendritic cobalt knives for superior cutting performance and absolute corrosion resistance. The result is a rigging knife uniquely suited for life at sea.

As the son of a Danish seafaring family (his father was a tugboat captain, his grandfather a sea captain on the Pacific Coast, and his great grandfather was a seafaring merchant in Scandinavia), it's no surprise that David Boye would turn his considerable knifemaking skills to the task of creating performance safety tools uniquely suited to the ocean environment.

Boye blades feature the "dendritic cutting effect" for exceptional cutting and edge holding. Boye dendritic cobalt blades and rocker arms and all other fittings are impervious to salt water corrosion and are non-magnetic, so they won't affect a compass or sensitive electronics.

Boye boat knives are slim and lightweight for easy, everyday carry. Each knife is an either hand opener with a secure lockback mechanism and a "hold tight" titanium pocket clip. Each hand ground blade has an edge that cuts quickly and cleanly through even the toughest high tech rigging lines.

David Boye's breakthrough discovery of dendritic blade metallurgy revolutionized traditional knifemaking and blade performance. And he has applied that knowledge, along with the lessons learned in some 40 years of knifemaking, to create some of the finest handcrafted boat knives you'll find anywhere.

The importance of having a good utility knife at sea cannot be overstated. Neither can the quality of the seafaring knives you'll find at Boye Boat Knives.
