This rope cutter, yes I mean “rope” not line cutter has been sold out in several places I know within a few weeks.
It’s the Rooster Safety Knife. Rooster Safety Knife - Knives & Multitools - Maintenance & Boat Care - Chandlery
I can’t recommend it enough because:
1. It can cut much, much thicker rope.
2. It’s half as cheap as the Eezycut. Eezycut where I am is 30€ and Rooster is 15€
3. It’s very strong
4. You can change the blades yourself
It’s made to be a sailing knife but seriously if you’re not diving with this..... I’ve seen first hand this tool cutting about 16mm thick rope (I think). It says it can cut up to 12mm but it can cut more than that easy. All the sailing clubs near me are buying them for use in safety boxes along with flares, first aid etc.
The only downside I can see to this knife is I’m not sure how you’d carry it other than drilling a hole through the bottom and putting a line through for attachment to a d ring or obviously using pockets. And the other downside is it doesn’t come with spare blades.
I encourage everyone to buy one seen as they’re so cheap and efficient. Enjoy!
I am no way tied to this company or product, I just want folks to be safer underwater.
