What Makes A Good Boat Knife?

Safety at sea depends on a lot of factors, not the least of which is the quality of the sailing tools you carry on-board. One piece of sailing gear you should never go without is a top of the line boat knife. A rigging knife you can depend on for accessibility and performance is vital, so what exactly should you look for when selecting such a tool? Boye Boat Knives, a leader in innovative cobalt knives for the ocean environment, suggests a few qualities to look for when choosing a proper sailing knife.

The spaces in and around boats are tight, and when you're going up and down and in and out of these spaces a bulky knife can get in the way and be a nuisance to carry. One of the keys to a good boat knife, then, is that it is easy to carry, lightweight, ultra compact, and quick to deploy. If a boat knife has all of these characteristics a sailor will be more likely to have it with him or her at all times. Boye cobalt folding knives meet all of these criteria and more. Weighing in at just a little over two ounces, their slim profile eliminates bulges and bulk.

Easy deployment means fast, critical accessibility so that a knife can be opened in split second situations, and with just one hand. Make certain that smooth, one-hand ambidextrous opening and closing is a feature your boat knife of choice offers.

Of course a boating knife can be lightweight, compact, and easy to open on the fly, but none of that matters if it can't cut fast and precisely every time you need it. Finely crafted Boye Knives offer extreme cutting and edge holding. Hand ground dendritic cobalt blades that won't rust in salt water make these quality knives essential safety equipment at sea. In a situation that requires fast and precise cutting of a line to save your boat or even a life, a durable and proven knife can be your most valuable companion. Make certain your rigging knife is up to the task of providing support for your seagoing adventures!
