Anchor Knife | Ebony Handle With Brass Anchor Inlay
The Anchor Knife is a traditional sailor’s pocket-knife pattern shaped for rope, cordage, canvas, packages, and routine utility work. The sheepsfoot blade keeps the cutting edge useful while offering a controlled point profile around lines and gear.
The pattern traces to the 19th century and European knife-making centers including Solingen and Thiers. This History Knife & Tool version pairs a dense ebony handle with a solid brass anchor inlay, steel bolster, and lanyard hole. The 1.4116 German stainless steel blade is chosen for straightforward care, corrosion resistance, and practical sharpening.
Manual nail-nick opening and a slipjoint mechanism keep the knife mechanically simple. At 7.09 inches overall and 3.03 ounces, it is substantial enough for daily work without losing the familiar pocket format. The result is maritime history expressed through a useful tool, not an ornament wearing a blade.
