What BOYE says about this knife:
"A traditional shape for
safety and a consummate
rigging knife, the Boye Sheepsfoot Folder is perfect for everyday jobs, in white knuckle situations when you're being slammed around on
boat or in critical
rescue conditions where you need to part a line quickly. The Sheepsfoot Folder has a blunt tip for minimal risk of accidentally piercing someone with a sharp tip in urgent situations. This knife is easy to carry and deploy and can be opened and closed with either hand. It will cut virtually any line - quickly, cleanly, and safely. It can be used for hours on end and still cut effectively and repeatedly, will never rust in
salt water (blade or fittings), and is non magnetic, so it won't affect a
compass or
electronics.
The Boye Sheepsfoot Folder was rated #1 Boat Knife by Practical Sailor, top scoring in criteria such as cutting, portability, deployment, magnetic
interference,
corrosion resistance, and affordability. Not included in this test was the all-important category of long term edge holding. In our opinion, that's one of the essential features of a good boat knife, and that's where Boye Dendritic Cobalt knives really excel.
The Boye Sheepsfoot folder has a 3" blade, is 7" in length overall, and weighs just 2.5 oz.
The "field grade" as-cast blade bears the markings of its fiery birth. The blade takes on metal flow lines and the natural grain texture of the porcelain
mold, giving it an "organic" look. The irregularities and patterns are superficial and make each knife unique. This finish is very wear resistant, and is a good choice for an all around working tool. The blades are smooth-to-the-touch with a lustrous appearance.

My Opinion of this Knife?
I have read much about this knife and was impressed by what I learned about it. I have read the very favorable
reviews, including the Practical Sailor review that ranked this the best sailor’s knife.
The knife is razor sharp. It is also surprisingly light in the hand and easy to wear, so if you buy it, be prepared that it is very light weight (some
parts are Titanium). It is easy to open with one hand and fits my hand perfectly (I wear a large size glove). It works very smoothly when opening. All of the materials are very nicely finished. It is impressive. It is much different from a more common “Spyderco” type knife. The blade looks great. I like the sheeps foot design the best.
In sum, while I was skeptical that this knife would be significantly different from other folding sailor’s knives, I was truly impressed by this knife once I had it in my hand. It is outstanding. While this is an outstanding knife, and considered by many to be the very best rigging knife of its kind, I have no need for it, as I don’t own a boat, and do not have
Dyneema rigging.

My Reason for Selling?
I received this knife as a gift from a sailor I helped. I appreciate the quality of this knife, but I had also purchased two other rigging knives a few weeks before, so I have no need for this particular knife. Instead of keeping it, I will sell it and get something else that is more important for me now. I have not used this knife at all. It is NEW and unused.
