Shipmate Stainless Pick Probes

Sometimes even a compact knife is just too big for the job. That's when Shipmate Stainless Pick/Probes from Beckson Marine shine. They have a multitude of uses aboard every boat, from functioning as a useful tool to helping make a cocktail.

Shipmate Stainless Pick/Probes are made from durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a marine resin handle designed not to roll and built to provide years of dependable service. The sharp, rigid blade won't flex under normal use, making it ideal for creating pilot holes, removing old caulk from small cavities and testing for wood rot. Ideal for splitting ice with just a firm push, it can even be used to pin fish to a fillet board, making it far safer and easier to prepare the catch of the day. An available Sheath protects the blade-and fingers-during storage.

Available in a 7" model with a 4" blade and a compact 5–1/2" Shorty model with a 2–1/2" blade, Beckson Shipmate Stainless Pick/Probes make the ideal gift for boaters, campers, anglers and homeowners. Suggested retail price for the 7" model is $32, while the 5–1/2" version sells for $25.50; MSRP for the Sheath is $9.30. A gift box containing a 7" model, sheath, mounting clip and hardware costs $45.
