A rigging knife is a specially designed knife used to cut rope. It may have a serrated edge for sawing through line, or a heavy blade suitable for hitting with a mallet to drive the knife through.[1] Folding tools, often in combination with a marlinspike and shackle key, are convenient and portable.[2] Rigger Brion Toss recommends fixed blade rigging knives for easy access in time sensitive situations and when working aloft. It can be a useful rescue tool if caught in rope and wire.[1]
