Christmas List?

Ok, I'm being hounded for what I want for Christmas

So what can we pinch from your boat related Christmas Lists? We need to move fast on this or we'll all end up with Christmas Jumpers

Safety knife

Spyderco Atlantic Salt.

Light, single hand open/close, never rusts, cuts to the bone, non-slip grip, RIB safe. Over the season mine got to go play in the water on a tethered crewmate to cut mono off a prop. Absolutely made for the job. Pricey, so a perfect one for the list!

Had one for a couple of years and it's a decent bit of kit

Got most of what I want for Boating..although some nice Leather Sailing Boots are on the list!

Will also put 'The Beast' on the list - would love that RIB, but reckon the Mrs will just chuckle and move on. Worth a shot though eh?

Sockets set

I was in Halfords at the weekend and bought one of these sockets sets. They have a lifetime guarantee/look good quality and they are currently on sale with 50% off. Happy shopping

Halfords

I need to remove gelcoat in some hard to reach places and was considering putting a Dremel 3000 on my list, only because I have heard that it is the tool to use. I have never used one in my life. It looks like the flexible drive will allow me to get to the difficult places that I have to get to.
Sorry that I am hijacking the thread a little, but it is for my Christmas list, honest
Any views on this tool out in the big wide world please.....

Well as a collector of 'Sharps' its pretty Low end Believe me!..
Anyway if you take off the Price of a Crap Knife which may well let you down when you need it...ie. like in a Force Five off Lundy with a Lobster Line around yer prop..Yes it is!

When you consider when and what you may very well need a Safety Knife to do, I reckon get the best you can.
The Pacific Salt (Serated) is Pretty good too and a Tenner Cheaper.
They also do a Fixed Blade version which is worth considering...either way 1st thing to do is put it on Lanyard!
I'm a member of 'British Blades Forum' which gets me 10%+ off at Hiennies...and plenty of other outlets well worth it for Outdoor gear and Sharps.
