A compact rigging knife with serrated edge, marlin spike, and hand-engraved scrimshaw

The Small Myerchin Rigging Knife with Scrimshaw is a true sailor’s companion in a refined, pocket-ready form. Its white smooth bone handle is engraved with authentic scrimshaw by Brian Kiracofe, while the serrated ProMarine sheepsfoot blade and marlin spike speak to the practical traditions of rope work, rigging, and life at sea.
