Wherever you sail, you know all too well how easy it is to get something tangled around some appendage of your boat. The Hooknife, from Sailor’s Solutions, has multiple effective cutting angles and makes it easy to free your keel, rudder, or prop from abandoned fishing tackle, plastic bags, discarded cordage, or (heaven forbid) your own sheet or guy, without having to go swimming. This tool will get the job done in a hurry, but take care—the Hooknife is anything but dull. $69.95. Sailor’s Solutions, 631-754-1945, www.sailorssolutions.com
