Myerchin Stainless Steel Marlin Spike

An absolutely invaluable piece of gear for anyone working with cord of any sort. The tapered tip drives easily into the firmest of knots to wedge them apart. The curve allows the spike to be twisted to help undo particularly stubborn portions, while a shackle key on the butt end also doubles as a lanyard hole. Myerchin marlin spikes have long been a staple of those in the maritime trades, and are a must-have for anyone who has ever been stymied trying to undo a knot.
