Andy135 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I want to keep a knife at the back of the transom just in case the prop gets wrapped in rope. Can anyone recommend a good one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 You will probably just cut yourself and bleed out over the deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the off chance that I don't, I'm curious to hear recommendations from folks who have my safety at heart, rather than my early demise... 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Something like this is cheap enough and you won’t have a meltdown if you lose it . Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of knife is that intended to be? Looks like a small hunting knife. Have you used yours specifically on rope and did it handle it ok if so?

JonC Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 They are classed as ‘companion’ knives, general purpose thing really. In all fairness a decent stanly knife would be quicker through rope though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 There’s a tool shop near me that is most probably the best tool shop I’ve ever known. They put things you don’t need on the counter to buy. I bought this one and sat there for about half hour striking it. Cheaper and easier to just buy a lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
