Has anyone exerience with a Knox Anchor?
We are currently taking one out for a cruise. First attempt in hard sand: sets and holds well.

The split in the flukes is intended to release substrate so it doesn't come up with lots of muck like the Rocna does. It does indeed let the mud and sand flow off the anchor much more readily.

Hi Daria,
That, indeed, would be a nice attribute.
I will be interested in whether split flukes can tolerate the rough and tumble of varied bottom challenges: such as those time when there is differential loading, one side resting on a rock. I would guess that if one fluke was out of alignment with the other, the whole geometry of the anchor would be compromised and the anchor might twist around when setting ina not-so-good way.
Like so many new products, time and multiple usage scenarios will clarify.
