Sailors Tool Linerlock Blue

If you ever have trouble picking knots, get yourself one of these. It's funny, every time I pull this out somebody goes "what the hell is that?!" Marlin spike is great though, very useful. Knife isn't great because it's a little in the small size, but it's definitely serviceable. Very sturdy and it feels tough. I bit on the expensive side, but for me, it's been worth it

I was a little nervous buying this online without being able to feel the build quality. But fear not, this has a good solid feel. The knife is split, about 25% smooth, 75% serrated and makes quick work of cutting through line. The marlinspike is solid, though note it is curved. I found that useful but took some adjusting if you're used to a straight tool. The pliers seem adequate for most shackles. It also had a belt clip on the back, which wasn't pictured when i bought mine, though it can be removed if you don't like it. I think it's nice though and really don't use the case it come with, though that is quality as well. I race sailboats and am thinking of buying these for my crew.

I have a new boat and this is a very handy tool to have on board.

Works very well, solid well built. It's easy-to-use, open and close one handed. Slips in and out of your pocket easily with the lanyard I made for it. The pliers are large enough for any shackle. Only complaint is that the clip will sometimes catch on the lip of the case when you pull it out. The really should fix that. Always put it in the case with the clip to the back, or lose the case overboard and put it in your pocket.

Great product. Sturdy and with all the essential tools.

This multi tool is just what I need on deck. I have no regrets and feel it was priced reasonably. I’ve had it aboard my charter boat for about a year now and it gets lots of use. Definitely recommend. I have used the marlin spike on shackles of all sizes; it is perfectly suited for the job. The tip is quite sharp, but that has proven handy for extracting the core when starting a splice in double braid. It’s the best and strongest feature of the tool. The pliers are not great but I have used them a lot for light duty. I’d rather use these pliers than go below to fetch a better tool, and most of the time they get the job done. The knife is sharp and good. It’s a little short, so it usually takes several swipes to part a line but again - it gets the job done. Like all Meyerchin products I’ve tried so far, this tool is prone to corrosion. I religiously wash it with fresh water whenever I come out of the sea with it, but rust has nevertheless stiffened it significantly. The lanyard ring is completely frozen. When it comes time to retire this tool, I won’t buy another one. The knife and pliers are both too small and light duty to be my primary tools, so I have better ones in my ditty bag. The marlin spike is currently my primary one; it is excellent, but honestly I prefer a bespoke marlin spike with shackle key. It’s admittedly very convenient to have all 3 tools in one package, especially for going aloft.

i used what has turned out to be an identical function and form factor knockoff of this and when i needed another one they were unavailable so i went with this and thankful i did ... way tighter sturdier feel and a little heavier . . . old one was wiggly and loose and when using under harsh conditions was not confidence inspiring . . . this one is ... comes with nylon case and was approx 30 dollars, double cost of knockoff. .. money well spent esp if using regularly or want to last

I needed a Marlin Spike on my boat. The wrench is handy for light duty. You can never have too many knives.
