At Sailing Chandlery we stock sailing knives from multiple different manufacturers. We have harness knives through to marine tools that includes a blade and also floating knives, plenty of options so you can find the one that works best for you.
Sailing knives are an essential tool to carry with you on the water. They are not only a tool they are an essential safety tool to protect you and your crew on the water. A knife can cut you out of danger if you are tangled in rope or you need to release your sail from a cleat or jammer.
Here are some of the knives we offer and some of their great features.
The Marine Tool is compact in size (95mm when folded) and includes a 70mm serrated blade with a marlinspike to attend to any rope modification you need to make on the water. It also features an integrated shackle key, webbing cutter, 8mm spanner and a flat blade screwdriver. Not only all of that but a handy bottle opener too for essential refreshment!

The Personal Rescue Knife is a very compact tool that can be operated with one hand. The handle has been developed to have a great grip in the wet and dry to prevent the knife and your hand from sliding. Once the knife is opened fully the blade is locked in place to prevent closure in operation.

This Rescue Knife comes equipped with a 6.4cm locking blade. The simple design allows this knife to come in at a more affordable price than the Gill tools. The plastic handle had a hole so you can tie a line to it to attach it to a buoyancy aid or PFD. As well as that, it has an integrated shackle key in the blade.

Bright Yellow Floating Sailing Rescue Knife has a 7cm round-tipped no locking blade. It is small and lightweight to fit in any buoyancy aid or PFD pocket with a handy hole to attach a string to.

This harness tool is a great tool for staying safe on deck. If you spend the majority of your time in a harness or life jacket this is a must have tool. Including a corrosion resistant blade and the ability to cut through webbing/harnesses, it can release you from an emergency situation on board.

we order some stainless beta pins, good price and very quick delivery.
Zhik described this range as medium waterproofness. Unsure what this means and whether I need a spare set of gear for stronger weather. Not convinced but it fits well and it’s a good make. Would be good to see a long term review
The Inglefield clip was invented by Lieutenant Edward Inglefield RN in the 1890s, it has been standard issue to British warships since 1895.
The idea was to make a reliable and fast way of assembling a hoist of signal flags, which they do very well.
I have had a long involvement with these clips, mostly for flags, but they have other uses, for example the West Lancashire Seabird One Design (a half rater) use the clips for their spinnaker halyard attachment to the sail, and I have seen a big version cut out of steel plate for a special job.
The standard clips are made from brass, these medium size nylon ones are clearly not as strong as brass, but they are good for small flags.
A further advantage is the avoidance of metallic stains on the bunting.
I don't think they would be strong enough for a big flag in windy conditions, but that isnt what i purchased them for.
