Wichard Offshore Serrated Sailing Knife

When you’re working with ropes onboard, a conventional pocket knife isn’t always enough. The Wichard Offshore Single Blade Knife is designed from the start for the marine environment and for sailors who need reliable cutting performance, secure handling and easy access.

Its key feature is an 8 cm half-serrated stainless-steel blade designed to efficiently cut modern ropes, including high-performance fibres such as Dyneema®. Add excellent corrosion resistance, one-hand opening, a secure blade lock and soft-grip handle, and you have a serious sailing tool that weighs just 66 g.

Half-Serrated Blade for Modern Ropes

The Wichard Offshore is equipped with a half-serrated blade.

This is particularly important onboard because rope can be much more demanding to cut than ordinary packaging or everyday materials.

Wichard specifically states that the serrated blade allows effective cutting of modern ropes such as Dyneema®. This makes the Offshore a purpose-built option for sailing, rigging-related tasks and watersports.

8 cm MA5 Stainless-Steel Blade

The blade measures:

Blade length: 8 cm
Blade thickness: 2 mm
Steel grade: MA5 stainless steel

Wichard uses MA5 stainless steel and applies a specific treatment to provide outstanding corrosion resistance—an essential characteristic for equipment intended to operate around seawater and constant humidity.

Made for the Marine Environment

This is where the Wichard Offshore separates itself from an ordinary EDC pocket knife.

It has been specifically developed for sailing and watersports.

Wichard focuses on the characteristics that matter onboard: cutting power, corrosion resistance, secure blade locking, one-hand opening, grip and resistance to demanding environmental conditions.

One-Hand Opening

On a boat, you often don’t have both hands available.

You may be holding a rope, maintaining your position or working with another piece of equipment.

That’s why the Offshore is designed for single-hand opening, allowing faster and more convenient access to the blade when required.

Safety Locking Blade

Once opened, the blade incorporates a safety locking system.

This is particularly important for a sailing knife designed to work on ropes, where significant cutting force may be required.

The locking system helps keep the blade securely in its working position during appropriate use.

Soft Grip for Better Handling

Wet hands, spray and demanding onboard conditions can make tool handling more difficult.

The Wichard Offshore features a Soft Grip handle designed to improve handling.

The handle uses PA & PU materials, combining a robust construction with a more comfortable gripping surface.

Handle Resistant from -60°C to +100°C

The Offshore’s handle is designed to withstand extreme temperatures.

Wichard specifies a temperature resistance range of:

-60°C to +100°C

This demonstrates the robust construction expected from equipment developed for demanding outdoor and marine environments.

Adjustable Wrist Loop Included

Every Offshore knife is supplied with an adjustable wrist loop.

On deck, dropping a tool doesn’t simply mean picking it up from the floor—it can mean losing it overboard.

The wrist loop provides a simple way to secure the knife to the user while working and reduces the risk of losing it during use.

Only 66 g

Despite being designed for demanding marine use, the Offshore remains extremely lightweight.

Weight: 66 g

This makes it easy to carry as part of your sailing equipment without adding unnecessary weight or bulk.

Its dimensions are:

Open length: 195 mm / 19.5 cm
Closed length: 115 mm / 11.5 cm
Blade length: 80 mm / 8 cm
Blade thickness: 2 mm
Weight: 66 g.

Available in 3 Colors

The Wichard Offshore Single Serrated Blade is available from Cavo Yachting in three colours:

All three versions share the same 8 cm MA5 stainless-steel half-serrated blade, 66 g weight, one-hand opening, safety locking blade and adjustable wrist loop.

Fluo – Visible in the Dark

The Fluo #10112 version offers an important additional feature: it glows in the dark.

On a yacht, visibility can become critical during night sailing or when searching for equipment in a dark cockpit or cabin.

The fluorescent version makes the knife easier to locate in low-light conditions, adding another practical marine-specific feature.

Blue – Classic Marine Look

The Blue #10116 version offers the same professional specifications with a classic blue marine appearance.

It retains the same half-serrated MA5 blade, Soft Grip, safety lock, one-hand opening and 66 g lightweight construction.

Orange – High-Visibility Colour

The Orange #10119 version combines the same Offshore performance with a bright orange handle.

The stronger colour contrast can make the knife easier to identify among other equipment in a cockpit, toolbox or sailing bag, although Wichard reserves the specific glow-in-the-dark feature for the Fluo model.

Designed for Sailing & Watersports

Unlike a general-purpose pocket knife that happens to be used onboard, the Wichard Offshore is explicitly designed for sailing and watersports.

It’s an excellent choice for:

• Sailing yachts
• Sailboats
• Motor yachts and boats
• Skippers and crew
• Cutting marine rope
• Dyneema® rope
• Sheets and lines
• Sailing equipment
• Watersports
• Onboard emergency equipment
• Marine tool kits

Why Choose a Serrated Sailing Knife?

Modern marine ropes can be extremely strong.

Dyneema® and other high-performance fibres are designed to withstand substantial loads, which also means they can be difficult to cut effectively with an unsuitable blade.

The half-serrated blade is one of the Offshore’s most important features because Wichard specifically designed it to efficiently cut these types of modern ropes.

For a sailor, this is much more relevant than simply having a sharp conventional pocket knife.
