Wichard

A rescue knife with superior cutting power and corrosion resistance. The stainless steel blade has a safer, rounded tip. The locking sheath has a release trigger and multi-point fastening. The knife is specially developed for rescue operations (fire departments, marine rescue, etc.), but is an excellent knife for offshore sailors, racing sailors and extreme enthusiasts.

N680 stainless steel is one of the most corrosion-resistant steels on the market. It is also a very good cutting steel: it costs about five times more than regular knife steels, and is especially recommended for situations where corrosion resistance is required.

The lockable sheath allows you to place the knife almost anywhere. The sheath has many attachment points, so you can attach it to a person, e.g. a life jacket, arm or belt, etc. Or on a boat, to the cabin, mast, crossbars, etc.

The red color makes this knife easy to identify.

316L grade stainless steel carabiner for attachment applications, asymmetrical design to support larger loads. Equipped with a loop for attaching braid. Grade 316L stainless steel.

The anchor chain holder ensures safe anchoring by reducing the tension of the anchor chain. Protects the boat by reducing the friction of the chain against the guard rail and cleat. Attaches between two links of the chain (attaches with one hand). The locking pin keeps the holder in place in all conditions.

Wichard Offshore is a serrated knife for active sailors. Its practicality, cutting properties and corrosion resistance have been emphasized. The one-handed blade opening allows for easy use on the water. The knife is ergonomically designed and very lightweight, and is equipped with an adjustable wrist strap and a combined shackle opener and opening pin. The fluorinated handle glows in the dark.

Wichard uses only top-quality stainless steel in its products. Most products are made of AISI316L antimagnetic alloy. Another special stainless steel grade used by Wichard is AISI630HR (High Resistance) magnetic alloy. Wichard products are manufactured by forging. This method eliminates internal structural defects in the material. This prevents possible cracks that may occur in cast metal products. Wichard marks its products by stamping. This is a guarantee of a safe product that has passed Wichard quality control.

HR 17-4 PH stainless steel is a special steel grade with high strength and corrosion resistance properties. It is a partially hardened and hardenable steel, particularly known for its good strength and excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures and in demanding environments.

HR means that the steel is heat treated (Heat Resistant), and 17-4 PH refers to its composition (17% chromium and 4% nickel) and ability to be hardened by post-treatment (Precipitation Hardening treatment).

This steel is commonly used in high-end applications such as ship parts, the aerospace industry, and many other industrial and demanding environments where excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance are required.

SoftLink is a soft shackle developed by Wichard for recreational sailors looking for performance and ease of use. For the same strength, SoftLink is 4 or 5 times lighter than a 316L stainless steel shackle.

HR pin, forged 17 Ph stainless steel. For use in heavy duty applications. Excellent for lifting or applications where the pin needs to be opened frequently. For use with a shackle or rope. The hoist or shackle is attached to the eye, no risk of the pin falling out. Opening and closing is done by turning the pin half a turn. The pin cannot be lost because it is attached to the pin.

Shackle made of stainless and acid-resistant steel. D-model. Locking shackle pin does not open due to vibration. Self-locking.

Shackle made of stainless and acid-resistant steel. Lyyra model with key lock. Locking shackle pin does not open due to vibration. Self-locking.

Shackles are made of two different materials. (HR) High-Resistance for high breaking strength requirements. The locking shackle pin does not open due to vibration (captive). The non-falling shackle pin secures the shackle. All shackles have working load and breaking strength values.

Forged acid-resistant 12mm D-shackle with self-locking thread lock. The shackle is smooth, so nothing can accidentally get caught in it. Opens and closes with an Allen key. Very high operating/breaking strength rating. Shackle certified.

This safety rope hook from Wichard offers many advantages. Thanks to the trigger mechanism built into the frame, the safety rope hook can be used with one hand and closes automatically.

Wichard Speedlink snap and lifting shackle with quick release

• Material: HR 17-4 PH stainless steel
• Length: 87mm
• Operating load: 1440kg continuous
• Weight: 97g
• A: 17mm
• B: 15.5mm
• Wichard product code: 2652

Speedlink is designed for spinnaker use on racing sailboats and offers an excellent weight-to-strength ratio. The extremely lightweight construction, design, openings and reinforcements give it one of the best strength-to-weight ratios on the market.

No accidental opening: The special shape of the lock reduces the effects of inertia and prevents accidental opening, especially during impacts.

Wichard Proline lifelines meet ISAF regulations for offshore sailing. The lifeline is made of aluminum and composite and is very light in weight. The strap is also equipped with an overload indicator.

The safety hook is easy to open and close with one hand. The opening is large (26 mm) and the tip of the safety hook is shaped so that the hook is easier to use on lifelines and cover loops.
