Genuine U.S. Government issue. Nicknamed "the 1757," this classic American rigging knife has been circumnavigating the globe for nearly 100 years and 5 generations of US Navy and Coast Guard sailors!

Per current military specs, the knife now carries a partially serrated "Never Dull" type blade for faster cutting through canvas, leather, sailcloth, all ropes & running rigging (including Spectra, Dyneema, Kevlar, etc) plus virtually every other type of fibrous material aboard the ship.

COMMENTS:
The "1757" is the folding rigger's knife that started it all, and has been copied many times by various manufacturers over the years. But as is often the case, few of the replicas have been able to match the precision, durability and balance of this American-made original.
At just over a quarter pound, the 1757 is denser, harder and stronger... it is what we call "tight and right," with a super-thick 1/8" blade spine that can be pounded with a rigger's mallet at the bench... as well as a marlinspike lock which is 100% firm and dependable with zero wobble or play.
Nicely packaged for gift-giving or presentation. Special kit from SHIPCANVAS includes rope lanyard (as pictured) plus 2-way nylon belt sheath (vertical/horizontal) with velcro closure. Ships quickly and directly from our Florida stockroom.
