This rope seal hot knife provides a convenient way to quickly cut synthetic boat ropes and cords, sealing them to prevent fraying and unravelling. Butane powered, the hot knife is especially useful for sealing spliced ropes, adjusting lengths, and more, all with a powerful and adjustable butane gas flow making it as hot as required. The Hot Knife also has a clear gas chamber, so you can see just how much butane is left in the reservoir, and can be refilled with ordinary lighter fluid available online or in store with us.

Be careful when cutting the rope to not use a temperature higher than necessary as some man made synthetic ropes melt quickly, plus the molten plastic can pool under the pressure of the knife, resulting in large chunks or very hard and often sharp plastic, which can slice hands open if used on fast lines.
