What is a BIG FISH? I can hear you say - well it's an all new safety knife suitable for all sailors and exclusive to Rooster Sailing.
The BIG FISH is breathtaking in its efficiency at cutting all kinds of rope. Its unusual design is the secret - it uses a patented channel to allow the full length of the rope to cross the Sheffield Steel blade but at the same time it is not an open blade - so it's a knife you can trust with your kids.
One of our Rooster Team Riders Ben McGrane had this to say about the BIG FISH:
"The BIG FISH is superb at cutting even the toughest rope we use on the 49er, it's light and easy to take out on the boat. It's important to have confidence in your kit and I certainly have confidence in this."
Perhaps even more important when acting as a safety boat driver and you have a sailor in the water with lines around them. Is your knife easily opened? Can you be sure to cut the line and not the sailor in the water? In an emergency, time is important to ensure the speedy and effective release of a sailor from the scene of the accident. It's important to have a BIG FISH knife on hand. The curved, snub nosed body of the BIG FISH is extremely light and has an internal surgical stainless steel blade which is inaccessible to flesh, so it's safe to use too!
Cutting up to 12mm rope is a synch.
