Boye Sheepsfoot Folding Knife Yellow

Product Description

Boye Sheepsfoot Folding Knife Yellow

A traditional shape for safety and a consummate rigging knife, the Boye Sheepsfoot Folding Sailing knife is perfect for everyday jobs, in white knuckle situations when you’re being slammed around on boat or in critical rescue conditions where you need to part a line quickly. The Sheepsfoot Folder has a blunt tip for minimal risk of accidentally piercing someone with a sharp tip in urgent situations. This knife is easy to carry and deploy and can be opened and closed with either hand. It will cut virtually any line – quickly, cleanly, and safely. It can be used for hours on end and still cut effectively and repeatedly, will never rust in salt water (blade or fittings), and is non magnetic, so it won’t affect a compass or electronics.

The Boye Sheepsfoot Folding Sailing knife was rated #1 Boat Knife by Practical Sailor, top scoring in criteria such as cutting, portability, deployment, magnetic interference, corrosion resistance, and affordability. Not included in this test was the all-important category of long term edge holding. In our opinion, that’s one of the essential features of a good boat knife, and that’s where Boye Dendritic Cobalt knives really excel.

The Boye Sheepsfoot Folding Sailing knife has a 3″ blade, is 7″ in length overall, and weighs just 2.5 oz.

The blade bears the markings of its fiery birth. The blade takes on metal flow lines and the natural grain texture of the porcelain mold, giving it an “organic” look. The irregularities and patterns are superficial and make each knife unique.  This finish is very wear resistant, and is a good choice for an all around working tool.
