Since everyone is sharing pics ... here's a few I have :

Regarding the Myerchin, yes, the metal appendage is to release the spike lock as well as a place to attach a lanyard. The slot in the blade is a shackle wrench, for opening the shackles which are used to attach halyards to sails, among other things.

Here is another of mine, a Currey lockspike, built on the European patten. The large hole in the body of the knife is the shackle wrench, and just as on the Myerchin, the bail release the spike lock.

Here are a couple more, a Mercator and a Camillus. In my opinion, the Camillus is the finest, toughest rigger of them all. If I could only have one knife on my boat, that's what it would be.

Here's one that reads "C.Johnson and Sons" over "Sheffield"

It has "Scout Knife" etched on the blade.

I still drool over that one. GREAT knife Phil.

Jerry, Tim, those are sweet , love the one with the bolsters, what are the closed length of those Buck's?
Dean, I really like that red Cammilus, is it bone or derlin handle?
Trail, the Currey is very interesting pice, with the addition of shackle wrench on the body and screw driver (?) on the bottle opener very handy feature

Thanks Falah, the Buck is 4 7/16, and a very stout knife!

Your first knife has a screwdriver blade too, Falah, on the end of the knife at the blade pivot.

Camillus made riggers for a number of other companies, including Case (from around 2000 until Camillus closed shop in 2007) and Kabar. Here is a picture of a Camillus and a Kabar.

Falah,

I just wish it were bone ..... it is a derlin handle. I think someone else mentioned the fact that Camillus , for a period of time also made the Case marlin spike. Both are stout, well made knives.

Here's a couple I own, both Schrades.

This one's had some use...

This is my nicest one, a Ted Williams etch...

This is the Admiralty Pattern 301, the Royal Navy knife circa 1910-30.

A while back I picked up a slight interest in this pattern. Only managed to snag a few out of curiosity. One a delrin Camillus..........

And a couple Rough Riders which are very nice and rather stout given their cost.....

Here's the rest of my meager collection............

If anyone has any information at all on the YAX knife I'd greatly appreciate you sharing it with me because thus far I've found nothing on it at all.

Phil

P.S. I added a better pic of the Ka-Bar I had shown previously.

You just haven`t asked the right person Phil

I do believe it is a knife made in Japan, The jigging pattern is not American or English.

There was a Yaxell Co., that according to their web site, started making knives in 1932
http://www.yaxell.co.jp/company/englishe.html

A pretty safe bet they made your knife as well.

Two more - an A.B.L. 1951 and an Alpha.
