Item MPN:

Rare and unusual ship rigging set in leather sheath. The sheath is stamped Trimminham\'s Bermuda and Sheffield England. Trimmingham\'s was a shop that operated in Bermuda from 1842 and sadly closed down in 2005. The stainless steel marlin spike is unmarked. The pliers is not original to this set, but is an appropriate fit as can be seen. The knife is a Kinfolks fixed blade knife, made in USA. I believe this is a WWII era fighting or hunting knife. It is about 9 1/2\" overall. Condition observations: The leather sheath is still supple enough to use, not dried out or brittle. The belt loop stitching is unraveling, however and will need a few, easy stitches, but the rest of the stitching is excellent. Condition of the knife is untouched, with obvious rust, dirt, even some paint on the handle. The grip has a couple of small cracks which can be seen in the pictures, and the tip is blunted. The marlin spike is well-used but certainly suitable to continue duty. The pliers have some surface rust but are otherwise fine, could use a drop of oil which I\'ll probably apply later. This mariner\'s/rigger\'s kit is a wonderful bit of oceangoing history and also a bit of a mystery. Who was Billy and what boat did he work on? Was he native Bermudian, or did he simply visit there a century ago and buy this kit? While this is certainly still serviceable, it is my opinion that it has transcended use as tools and has become a piece of art worthy of being collected, displayed, enjoyed.
