Robust Vangedal marlinespike for knots and splicing simple, safe, and hard-wearing

A classic marlinespike for ropework that makes knots and splicing easier, even with cold fingers. We recommend it for scouts, sailors, and outdoor people who want a clean, durable tool without frills. The marlinespike is made from stainless 1.4116 steel and measures 155.0 mm, giving a good balance between reach and control. Persona: the scout leader, sailing crew member, and bushcraft type who work a lot with rope and cord.

It slides easily between strands and loosens tight knots without fraying the rope. We recommend wiping it dry after use and avoiding forcing the tip against hard surfaces. Vangedal keeps the design simple and effective, so you can focus on the task—at camp, in the harbor, or in the workshop.

SKU: 209 Categories: Craft Knives, Vangedal

A solid and simple aid for everyday ropework in camp or on board. I appreciate the slim profile, which makes it easy to work with lines from 3–12 mm without damaging the fibers. The overall length is 155.0 mm, and the steel is the well-known 1.4116, hardened to HRC 55–56 for a tip that keeps its shape but can still be touched up with light sharpening.

When splicing or opening stubborn knots, the spike works as a precise wedge. I’ve especially enjoyed using it with scout gear because it fits the sheaths for the Rover and Senior models, so it can be carried together with the knife. The weight isn’t stated by the manufacturer, but several sources list about 57 g, and some mention a diameter around 8 mm; that matches the compact feel in the hand.

Use it to protect your lines, save your fingers’ strength, and keep your speed up when tying knots and splicing. Bring it in the patrol kit or sea bag and choose one now while it’s in stock—many scouts and sailors swear by this simple solution.
