for the sailers

My take on a traditional sailer's knife with marlin spike.
commissioned by a local yacht club.
CPM154 for the knife, Forged 416 for the marlin spike.
Carmel cotton micarta scails

I like it. What is the handle material?

cotton micarta for the scails. The collor was called carmel, I'd say it was mor of a butterscotch.

Very neat knife. I'm a sailmaker by trade and nowadays mess around making knives, tomahawks and sheaths. I was thinking the other day about a product that was called Tuffnel (sp?) the was a linen laminate used for turning blocks on smallish sailboats, mainly dingys. Would love to find a piece of it for scales, it was a dark caramel colour. It seems to me it was a British company that made the material.
