Offshore Knives

Offshore Sailing Knife

Knives are a practical tool for many boating scenarios. You may use them for common applications, like cutting knotted lines or tape. Knives can also save lives in various situations, including when harnessed sailors fall off a boat and need to release from their safety straps. 

Fawcett Boat Supplies has a range of offshore knives that sailors and boaters can choose from for their unique needs. If you're purchasing a new blade to replace a worn-out one or outfitting your watercraft with essential supplies for the first time, consider how you may use your knife to find the best one. We have a range of blades that fit many boating uses. 

What to Look for in an Offshore Sailing Knife

If you're unsure what you need from the knives you keep on your boat, consider these five qualities to narrow down your choices:

• Cutting ability: Offshore knives should have a sharp blade that easily cuts various materials.
• Night visibility: If you plan to bring your boat out in low light, consider a knife with a glow-in-the-dark or fluorescent handle so you will not lose it.
• Blade locking: If your knife folds, a lock should keep it open to avoid collapsing on the hands and fingers.
• One-handed opening: For ease of use, we recommend foldable blades you can open with one hand.
• Corrosion resistance: Since offshore knives regularly endure exposure to salt water, their materials — like steel, cobalt or titanium — should resist corrosion.

Whether you need a knife to cut rigging or a safety knife in case of falling overboard, Fawcett Boat Supplies has options for you, including:

• Water rescue knives: Harness-cutting knives offer a grip for ease of use in wet and dry conditions and easy storage in a vest or life jacket.
• Rigging knives: These knives are specially designed to cut thick ropes and often have additional rigging tools, like a marlinspike for undoing tough knots and a shackle key for opening and tightening screw pins.
