A needful tool for the rigging kit...

Since I have a whole lot of rigging to do in the not too distant future using Dynex Dux, I've been looking for an affordable folding ceramic blade knife as Dynex tends to dull steel knife blades in a hurry.

Ceramic blades by their nature can be sharper than steel as well as keep their edge longer, but like anything, you tend to pay for the advantage. Lucky for us as ceramic blades become more popular the economics of scale and competition should bring the prices down to a reasonable level.

This knife by Meyer looks to be just the sort of thing I'm looking to add to the rigging kit and it will be interesting to see how it holds up against the rigors of Dynex...
