Combination rigging knife, marling spike, and shackle key with knife extended
A rigging knife is a specially designed knife used to cut heavy rope. It may have a serrated edge for sawing through line, or a heavy blade suitable for hitting with a mallet to drive the knife through.[1] Folding tools, often in combination with a marlinspike and shackle key, are convenient and portable.[2] Rigger Brion Toss recommends fixed blade rigging knives for easy access in time sensitive situations and when working aloft.[1]
