Sailing knives have to do much more on board than just cut a bread roll in half. Cutting ropes to length, for example. This is where differences become apparent. Depending on the material of the line, the result can go either way: If it takes a long time and the line is completely frayed afterwards, it would be time to regrind it - or think about buying a different knife.
For the test, we have brought together different and many new models: From pocket knives with folding blades to sailor's knives specially designed for cordage work, a knife specially designed for splicing work and emergency knives.
