As says above, I have this sweet little Case "Rigging Knife" No. 147. The sheath is original and the knife s in pretty nice shape... fer lookin' at anyhow.
Originally, I had thought that it was supposed to have a sharpening steel. Now I find that as a rigging knife it is in fact supposed to have a Marlin Spike.
I've searched about for the spike alone, I can't find one. Tips to locating one or a knife maker capable of making a passable version would be appreciated. I'd like to use this in place of or addition to my often used folder.
You can see that this one got a lot of use as the handle hole is well and nicely hogged out from the spike loop.
