Get him a good Bosun's knife. (Riggers knife, sailors knife) The blade should be a sheepsfoot blade about 3" long, and like RKC said, it should have a Marlin Spike for opening up the twists in line when making splices. Additionally, it should have a bail to release the spike (hmmm..how to describe it?) It's a rectangular clasp at the end where you would normally have a loop. The clasp fits over the pin end of a shackle and allows you to loosen or tighten it.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
