My understanding is that this is a German Navy knife but I haven't done much research on it.
Never carried or used it but I'm getting some inspiration from this thread :D(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180108/47c9b9bb54484d9d3dd990c5d96235cb.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180108/7ded690d2af21b199186d31b7c50db97.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180108/6f78f67f0f7b4ea978a14a5ca143fc71.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180108/2b0149657d25ba8479831df4692d0cf7.jpg)

Yes it is. It is the standard issue of the German navy (Bundesmarine). They were/are made by a small number of manufacturers. I have one made by Fox Knives of Maniago in Italy.

Nice Greenbear! :like: Love to see some pics for the club. I'm really getting into marlinspikes, my grandfather just gave me his old German made Alpha, that I'm going to shine up a little bit this weekend and start carrying
I'll try and find the link I had that listed all the manufacturers, there were only 5 (or maybe 6)
They are all built to the exact same spec and are really very good and robust knives :)

Myerchin Titanium 300s, a 1st gen with partially serrated blade and a 2nd gen with plain edge.Was on Myerchins website last night "window shopping"!

They are amazing little knives. Very capable. So light you forget you are carrying them and both the blade and the spike lock open. On the older knife you depress the bail to unlock the blade or spike and the newer model has frame locks. One word of caution, Myerchin doesn't extend the warranty if you buy their knives second hand. They only cover the original purchaser if purchased from an authorized dealer.

Nice - I've looked at these before, they look like a handy blade and you see them a lot in chandlers stores so they do sell to the boaties :like:

I'm holding out to see if they drop the price. Wal-Mart tends to do that, especially around the holidays and on new items if they don't sell well, and I'm counting on these not selling well because they are in the fishing aisle instead of with the rest of the knives.
Cuda used to be a name Camillus did with high end tactical knives. Now it seems Acme's using that brand name for fishing gear. Not too long ago, Amazon had a Camillus version of that knife with VG-10 steel for almost the same price which would probably be better. At $20, might grab one myself next time I'm there. The Matchbox car side of the hobby will warrant another trip to WM after Thanksgiving anyway.
Does it have a locking spike? Looks like it.

Nice!!:iagree:
Here's my first gen W100P (the P designates it as partially serrated) with the original nylon sheath that I had at one time sewed a Leatherman pouch to. The Leatherman pouch was later removed. I can't find the knife and I'm not sure if I lost it or if I sold it.
Second pic is my first gen B100 with MP-600
Third pic is my second gen B100.
I like the older model better.
Post by: SolomonKane79 on November 27, 2018, 04:43:25 PM
The older ones are Japan made and do really feel like quality, but the newer ones are no bad too, they have a shackle slot cut into the blade and removable handle scales which is a plus. The blade and handle shape are different too and are slightly bigger.
I think the newer ones have a better grip and hold. The older ones may be slippery with wet hands. On the other side talking about their folders i think the grip was much better on the older ones, due to the aggressive back groves on the spine. I really like Myerchin, they really are no frills sailor's knives.

I wasn't happy with the blade shape on my Bund knife so with hiraethus' help I put a Sheepsfoot on it. Much more pleasing to the eye!
Chunky! Very nice. What was it like before?

Not quite a spearpoint, not quite a sheepsfoot - a horrible mishmash that I couldn't even bear to look at. :D drama much?

Looks great now - just need to find something suitable for a lanyard now.
Here's a couple more pics showing just how thick the spine of the blade is - hefty!

Your knife got me thinking about one Noah left behind. He has a Bund, but he took it with him. This belonged to my father in law, who was also a sailor, and is a German Alpha. I believe it is probably 1960's vintage at the latest.That's lovely Barry - I like the sheepsfoot blade. Thanks for showing it :salute:

One of the great things about using Rough Riders for scrimshaw is that the knives are so inexpensive (about $10 - $12 each) that the artist can buy them, do the scrimshaw, sell them for a reasonable price, and still make some money on the deal.

I am quite sure it is the only plier based multi with a proper marlin spike included. There was the CRKT bivy who sported a tiny one and various multis have a c-spike but this the only one with a true marlin spike like those found on folders.

Sirs, that almost drives me mad when i have crew mates with those kind of knives around. I can see injuries coming.

The ER was a gift from my family for my 40yrs birthday. It has a shackle slot as you can see and comes along with that “tactical” looking lanyard. It has the ER security lock, the red tab you see, and using the screws you can adjust the opening friction.Happy Birthday! :cheers:

Thanks for the pics - it looks great - I was wondering how the pronounced curve of the spike would translate to the scales, but they just eat it up! Looks extremely solid. :tu:

Maybe because they are soldier derived? Soldiers did not have a lanyard attachment as opposed to the civilian pioneer ranges.

Myerchin Gen 2 Titanium Crew - Easy to OHO (via the shackle key/thumb hole) and OHC and weighing only 2.4 ounces on my scale, this little knife is a joy to carry and perhaps one of the lightest weight options out there that features a marlinspike. The small size and frame locks make it not quite as comfortable in the hand as some other options, however. Both blade and spike lock.
Myerchin Gen 2 Captain (G10) - Very fast and easy to OHO; use the flipper in conjunction with a flick of the wrist, and the blade flies open and locks with a satisfying clack. Easy to OHC, and the larger handle is a better fit for my larger hands than the smaller Crew version. One major downside of this knife in my opinion is the weight; coming in at 6.8 ounces on my scale, you certainly won't forget you're carrying it. Both blade and spike lock.
Colonial Riggers Knife - I'm really impressed with the quality of this piece; fit and finish are very good. It's a classically styled riggers knife with some more modern materials (stainless steel, and the scales are some sort of injection-molded plastic, maybe Zytel). The tip of the spike is very sharp (actually sharp enough to be used as an awl), which is an interesting contrast with the more rounded tips of the Myerchins. The spike locks open, but the blade does not. A bit on the heavy side at 5.1 ounces on my scale, but this is a serious working tool, not a glorified letter opener. For those who like a lanyard or the ability to tie the knife to something to prevent loss, the shackle key makes for a very solid attachment point (assuming you don't plan to use it too often as a shackle key); it is certainly a much better option than the bent little piece of wire that passes for a lanyard attachment point on the Myerchins. The only negative I see is that it isn't OHO.

I agree. This Myerchin Gen 2 Titanium Captain is my most carried marlin spike knife. OHO, OHC, pocket clip, and marlin spike…not a lot of options out there checking all those boxes.

I included the first gen Myerchin A377P in the combo edge challenge. Not quite as convenient as the newer model with its liner locks, because the first generation knives unlock by pressing on the shackle. It is, however, still a useable knife that weighs less than most comparable sized knives even with the added benefit of having the marlin spike. Check out my day 24 post (today's post) in the Combo Edge challenge where I did what I call the Castaway portion of the challenge and used the A377P to open a coconut.Nice!
I do wish I’d picked up some of the gen 1 when they were still readily available.
Post by: Alan K. on February 25, 2022, 04:46:22 AM
Nice!I see them on E-bay all the time. Just be warned, the Myerchin warranty only covers the original, registered owner, so if you buy a used one and you break it you'll just have to buy another one. :pok:

Nice, sounds like you got a good deal!I like it a lot. The hard thing is to decide if it's proper for EDC. I EDC it since I got it, to make my mind up.
How do you like that Boye? I’ve eyed them up from time to time, but haven’t quite been able to bring myself to drop the coin on one.
The pros:
Very light
Flat
Small
Exotic metals, cobalt and titanium
Paramagnetic
Marlin spike/shackle key/poking tip/prying tool/fidget.
Nice and safe locking/unlocking lockback
Boye curve
Serrated blade and non pointy.
The cons:
Shorter than K55K/Opinel 8/Endura
Serrated blade and non pointy.
The last one is a pro for naval and safety use and some other tasks.
It doesn't look threatening because it has no point also.
It's a con when you need a clean cut.
But I have my Swisschamp and an Executive for that.
It was very dull and I sharpened it easily with a diamond file.
