Sailmakers Prickers:

Presumably used for splicing rope.

Caveat:

It is assumed in the listings presented below, that when tools have corresponding descriptions in different C. DREW catalogues, that they will also have the same dimensions and weights. This assumption may not always be correct.

"Packed one doz. per box" (per catalogue No. 36)

"Hardened, Tempered Tool Steel, Wood Handles" (per catalogues No. 37, 63 and "Marine Tools" catalogue, December 1, 1959)

"The handles version of the marlin spike is DREW'S Sailmaker's Pricker, which is also used as a Trawl Splicer. The 5: Long blade of this tool is made in the same exact way as a wire rope marlin spike, with a flattened point, but is equipped with a 4-1/2 contoured Hickory handle." (per catalogue: June 1968)
