RARE WILKINSON SWORD SAILOR'S RIGGING KNIFE W/SHACKLE KEY & MARLINESPIKE

This is a classic mariner's knife made by Wilkinson Sword in Sheffield, England. Knives like this are also called "sailor knife" or "rigging knife." It has a sheepsfoot blade (best for rope cutting), a sc rewdriver, a shackle key, and a marlinspike, which is used to loosen stubborn rope knots.This is one serious and hefty knife and probably one of the last of its kind. It looks like it was never used. It would be a great addition to a veteran mariner's collection of artifacts. I found only one pictured online, and they called it rare.Someone on Yachting World said this about it: IMO one of the finest knives was the Wilkinson Sword Sailors knife. No longer available since the factory was sold off and asset stripped in 2006.I saw one last winter lying on the side deck of an unoccupied yacht in a Chichester Marina. I resisted the temptation but, my God, it was difficult!
