Marlinspike

Marlinspike (; sometimes marlin spike, marlinespike, or the archaic marlingspike/marling-spike) is a tool used in marine ropework. Shaped in the form of a polished metal cone tapered to a rounded or flattened point, they aid in such tasks as unlaying rope for splicing, untying knots, drawing marline tight using a marlinspike hitch,
and as a toggle joining ropes under tension in a belaying pin splice.
Most marlinspikes are 6 to 12 inches long, but may reach 2 feet and more for working heavy cables and ropes. They are usually made from iron or steel, whereas fids, similar in shape and function, are formed from wood or bone. The marlinspike may be a separate tool or one item on a pocket knife.
Sailors who become proficient at knot tying, splicing, and sewing using the marlinspike are said to have mastered marlinespike seamanship, earning them the right to be known as ''marlin spikes'' or ''marlinspike seamen''.
==Uses==

Marlinspikes are used:
* As levers to open strands of laid rope when forming eyes or inserting items into the lay.
* To untie knots that have tightened under tension.
* As a lever or handle to tension marline or rope using a marlinspike hitch, much tighter than by gripping the line with the hand alone.
* As an improvised weapon against hostile boarding parties.
