Quality folder with marlinspike?

Camilus do some nice ones

I have this one.

But there is a wood handled one that looks good as well.

Quick Google search found a Spyderco tusk for $90 at a non-supporting site.

If you mean Knife Silo, watch out. It seemed a little too good to be true. A quick google search showed multiple hits claiming that the site is a scam, including from this forum.
 
Look into the Victorinox Skipper models too, for something different.
Rough Rider also made a model, for a decent quality lower cost Traditional option.
 
Here's an idea with a slight twist-I recently became aware of "5x5 Combat Solutions" and have already bought a product from them. They have a line of accessories for mainly Spyderco knives and one line is the Exo Tool line. In this Exo Tool line is a product called the Nautilus. This is a product that appears to replace the backspacer of a Delica or Endura, and is a functional Marlin Spike. I like the concept-I realize initially that it would be hard to get a suitable stainless in these platforms(?) Also it appears out-of-stock at the moment anyway.

Would post a link but I can never remember which forums I'm on allow links to to outside companies or not-easy enough to search for 5x5 Combat Solutions...

I don't know how well they work IRL but it's a cool idea. They have a bunch of different options for turning a back spacer into a tool. A side benefit is that it offers a hard metallic anchor for the spring bar. That probably makes reassembly easier on some of the Spyderco back locks.

I concur. I'd never heard of them, so was leery. Thanks for the info.

That's a genius idea, I certainly would go for that, it would be perfect on my Pacific Salt, can't get better than LC200N for a marine knife. But they're out of stock, and they won't ship outside the US anyway, claiming problem related to Covid(yet I just received, today, an order from Wakashiba Japan, took 6 days to Canada east coast).
 
SOG made one which was reviewed in the old Tactical Knives magazine. Ended up buying one. It is Chinese made, but still a quality build. Everything is tight and lock up is solid.

Have an older Camillus with a completely serrated blade. When the springs click on that one you know it. :oops:

I ordered the 5x5 spike and it is tiny.

I had a meyerchin knife with the spike and it was ok. I sold it and bought the meyerchin spike without a knife. It is much better than any knife based spike. I made a kydex sheath for it that attaches to an Aqua Salt sheath.

It wont work on a salt.
 
Curry lockspike. Stainless.
It was in my pocket for 3 Newport to Bermuda races,Chicago to Mackinac races,etc. Two went overboard but cheap enough not to worry about loss.
No pics gave up racing a long time ago...too much like work.
