currey lockspike captain

A good, solid – and weighty – traditional knife. There are four knives in the range, each offering different features based around the original 1940 Lockspike Bosun design. We tested the Lockspike Captain, which has a straight unserrated blade, a shackle key/ bottle opener and an excellent marlinspike that locks open – great for when you’re trying to prise open a really tight knot. Its all-stainlesssteel construction fared the best in the saltwater test.

The curved marlinspike makes the top of the handle when using the knife. It comes with a neat knotted lanyard. The fastening loop on the knife locks the marlinspike. www.captaincurrey.com SPECIFICATIONS MAKE Currey MODEL Lockspike Captain WEIGHT 140g BLADE LENGTH 62mm CLOSED LENGTH 93mm LOCKING BLADE No FEATURES 4 SINGLEHANDED USE No
