FAQ
Is the scrimshaw hand-engraved?
Yes. Brian Kiracofe engraves each handle by hand.
Why a serrated sheepsfoot blade?
The serrated edge cuts rope cleanly, and the rounded sheepsfoot tip is safer to use on a moving deck.
How does it compare to the large Myerchin?
It is a smaller 3.5-inch folder with a serrated 2.5-inch blade; the large model has a 3.25-inch plain blade.
