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.

Or the bone one is nice too.....

shipping problems are customs

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 carry an A.G. Russell Sea Skorpion. I really like its design.

I often use an A.G. Russell Sea Skorpion with an 8Cr13MoV combo blade when I expect to be tying or untying lots of knots or difficult knots. The blade and the marlinspike both have framelocks. There is also a MUCH more expensive model.

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.

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.

I’ve been using one of these for years

 

[Rufus1949]

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.

 

[osvcap]

DPx RYP Harsey. Never seen or handled, but may be interesting.

I thought there would have been more of a buzz on these, unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

Price is a bit high.

I’ll cast another vote for the Buck Yachtsman. To say that this one saved my life would be stretching it. But it definitely saved the spinnaker, and quite possibly the boat.

Glad to see the academy final has some nice boats to race. Back in the late 70's early 80's it was sad to see what the cadets had to race.
