History Knife & Tool Anchor Knife 01HY003

The History Knife & Tool Anchor Knife has been a timeless staple in Christian maritime traditions since the 19th century, crafted in the renowned knife-making regions of Solingen and Thiers. Its French moniker, ‘Le London,’ hints at its strong ties to Britain's illustrious seafaring history. It's plausible that this knife was also manufactured in Sheffield or even originated there. A hallmark of all traditional anchor knives is their seawater-resistant ebony handle, featuring a meticulously inlaid anchor crafted from solid brass. The sheepsfoot blade is specifically designed for rope work, complemented by a straightforward slip-joint lock and a sturdy steel bolster. The History Knife & Tool Anchor Knife also includes a convenient lanyard hole, ensuring it stays secure and doesn't accidentally fall overboard while working on deck. In its modern iterations, the blade is crafted from stainless steel for durability, while the classic version utilizes the esteemed German cutting tool steel 1.4116.
