[AIS] Personal Safety Knife for sailing

[Bill Hooper]

Just remember when in an emergency that you blow the correct end when you want to sound the whistle.  Carry a first aid kit with you too.

I found this knife last fall and thought it worth sharing as a personal sailing safety knife and whistle. 


It's a folder that can be opened with one had, and has a combo blade for cutting lines. The nice thing is that it has a whistle integrated into the handle, and a decent clip for a lanyard. It's thin and lightweight. Very well made for $15, and it's not a toy knife. 


I bought a couple extra to keep as spares for random crew. 


Some of the new "seatbelt cutter" tools are nice and noteworthy. But if you want a blade, this is worth looking into.

Wells Fargo fraud unit just called to report unusual high activity on my credit card...so yes...sailing season is coming. 

See you out there,
