MORAKNIV
Floating Rope Knife
DESIGN: Morakniv
CATEGORY: HARDWARE
OVERALL WINNER, MOTIVATION FROM THE JURY
There might be other floating knives on the market but none comes close to the performance of the Floating Rope Knife from Swedish manufacturer Morakniv. The jury was impressed of the overall design including a handle made out of cork which is soft and grippy at the same time. Also the serrated blade works well, the rounded tip makes handling a lot more secure. The super light weight makes it not only a great knife for kayaking or boating but also for hiking and backpacking. »The more we tested the Morakniv the more we loved it«, says one jury member.
PRIMARY INNOVATION FEATURES
The Morakniv Floating Rope Knife is a fixed blade knife that, thanks to the designed handle of cork, actually floats in water. The thin serrated blade of stainless steel is specially designed to handle the cutting of rope, fibre and nylon.
INTENDED SPECIFIC END USE
Morakniv developed the Floating Rope Knife for the offshore industry where a floating knife is of high importance. Especially in the fish farm agriculture where knives are used regularly for cutting rope or as a general tool. Of course its features also make this knife a perfect tool for kayakers, people sailing and others spending time on the water, both professionals and sportsmen.
SPECIFIC FEATURES
The thin blade of stainless steel has a rounded tip, keeping you and your boat safe from injuries and providing a safe practice when cutting rope or nets out on the water. The Floating Rope Knife has a core and a sheath made of orange polymer making it highly visible and easy to locate.
