Stoker said:If you get sent to a ship either reg or res, you usually get issued a Grohmann type Knife, a lot of Bosn's buy their own. Each ship is issued so many. All members of the ship's company are suppose to have a seaman's knife on them at all times which is a fixed blade knife. A multitool while handy doesn't satisfy that requirement.
Occam said:I have never seen anyone other than a Bos'n carrying a fixed blade knife, and that's usually in a sheath with a marlin spike.
Ex-Dragoon said:Grohmans are overrated pieces of crap...for shipboard use, better buy your own and know it will hold an edge longer then a day. A sharp knife may save your life or those of your shipmates.
