Puncturing open a tube of 3M Marine adhesive sealant 5200
I have just received my beautiful deck knife model 1757. What a piece of great craftsmanship. In the early 1960s, I had one exactly like it which I bought in Long Beach, California. Although not required, most of us in the 1 Division purchased our own. Leather cases were also available. A Boatswain Mate friend of mine fashioned a "Monkey Fist" for me from a red nylon shot line. The shot line was used in a shotgun to shoot a line to another ship alongside while both were at sea moving along medium speed. I wish to compliment you on this particular knife which is very well made.
Thank you,
