Item: FID-0001
$15.00 The Swedish Fid is perhaps the most indespensible tool in my entire arsenal for marlinspike work. Traditional fids are heavy and awkward for lightweight projects and this Fid is the perfect tool for your marlinspike project The stainless steel fid is grooved to allow slipping the line through any opening created by the fid, an ingenious idea. The Fid is capped with a 7-strand Turk's head knot. |

It is available in 100 or 1000 yard rolls in two different sizes and colors: Black/White 1.7mm and 2.2mm When constructing my lanyards I typically use the 2.2mm cord for the main body and the 1.7mm cord for the Turk's Head Knots. My 17 strand lanyards are constructed entirely with the 1.7mm. BUY CORD SAMPLE $3.50 Includes small samples of black/white 1.7 and 2.2mm cords |

What is the Bosun's Pipe or Boatswain's Call? For starters, the Boatswain, or Bosun, is in charge of the deck crew. The Bosun's Pipe, sometimes referred to as a Boatswain's whistle, is infamously known for its shrill sound, which can be heard over the noise of high winds and heavy seas and is used for signaling the crew.
The Captain and her Boatswain, Royal Mantecoran Navy. Note the ornamental lanyard he is sporting.
