Marlin spike

Had a small gun show this weekend in town.
Have been looking for a knife with a Marlin Spike,
Always had one when I was in the Navy. And have no idea
Where it went?
Well I found this one at the show, not US made, but it will fill the void for now

It's pretty much, just something that a sailor or someone
Who works on a ship, or on the docks. Would need, the spike is used to get knots undone, ropes that get wet and under a lot of stress, can be tuff to get undone.
The one I had was made by Case.

Something very similar, in various guises, used to be standard issue in the British Army from WW1 onwards.
