Wow, first wave is sold out! Thank you so much everyone! Don't worry, delivery might take a day or two longer than usual but everything HAS been getting there eventually so please be patient. In addition, this year they have rerouted mail to different facilities due to their cost cutting measures so sometimes tracking shows incorrect or strange locations. Please note: The US Post Office is a little bit slow right now due to the enormous holiday mail volumes. As ALWAYS, thank you for stopping by and I hope everyone is having a warm and safe holiday season so far!
#696 MARLIN SPIKE STORES PLUS#
The HangMan hooks will run $40 plus shipping and the batch is reasonably sized so I'll make it a two per customer limit. But these are all plain stonewashed for now. If they prove to be popular I will do another run with anodizing and maybe stamps, etc. These have an attractive stonewashed finish and are a perfect complement for a working tool. I have thinned one side in order to give a very slight spring action, quite stiff but with just enough flex to be able to comfortably slip over a belt loop or pants pocket edge while at the same time preserving considerable strength. The aggressive grip allows for easy retrieval. 160" thick titanium and measures 2 inches x 1 inch, so it is small and unobtrusive yet still feels very beefy. I've given this idea a lot of thought and tried many versions out to arrive at one that satisfies me both in action and in form. The HangMan is a neat little keychain accessory that allows you to hang your keys from a belt loop, or use it as a pocket clip to suspend your keys or other gear in your pocket. Today I have on offer a new design, something that I have been planning for quite a long time. Well, I've been scrambling to get some last minute projects done for the year. At least we're finally getting some sun this week. The long-billed fish marlin is thought to be named after the marlinspike.We're settling into a cold spell here in New England, bitter overnight temps and miserable chilly days. Marlinspike derives from the practice of "marling", winding small diameter twine called marline around larger ropes to form protective whippings. tension marline or rope using a marlinspike hitch, much tighter than by gripping the line with the hand alone.untie knots that have tightened under tension.
Sailors who become proficient at knot tying, splicing, and sewing using the marlinspike are said to have mastered marlinespike seamanship, earning them the right to be known as marlin spikes or marlinspike seamen. Historically a separate tool, the marlinspike is integrated in specialized versions of folding rigging and pocket knives. They are usually made from iron or steel, whereas fids, similar in shape and function, are formed from wood or bone. Marlinspikes are usually about 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) long, but may reach 2 feet (61 cm) or more when used for working heavy cables and ropes. Shaped in the form of a narrow metal cone tapered to a rounded or flattened point, it is used in such tasks as unlaying rope for splicing, untying knots, drawing tight using a marlinspike hitch, and as a toggle joining ropes under tension in a belaying pin splice. A typical marlinspike with lanyardĪ marlinspike ( / ˈ m ɑːr l ɪ n s p aɪ k/, sometimes spelled marlin spike, marlinespike, or marlingspike) is a tool used in marine ropework.
