SeaHook 45 anchor: anyone have any experience?

[rebel heart]

My primary is a 60lb manson supreme, and I have a little 22lb delta and a ~25 danforth-ish as well. This one came with the boat, and was wondering if anyone (especially you old timer crusty salts like bob of bobandconnie) have any experience with them. 3/8 shackle fits perfect on the shank. It's pretty corroded but nothing that seems to have materially reduced the surface area.

Looks like it would pull fairly horizontal, but the flukes aren't that big.

Also, I think it's made by Davis.

Maybe it's a knockoff or original of the "forfjord" anchor?

It is a navy style anchor, which isn't very useful when under 100lbs - and even then it isn't very useful.

If it was me, I would get rid of it. You are going cruising and can use the space and weight loss. Can you imagine a situation where you would use that anchor and feel comfortable? If you are thinking storm situation where you would throw them all overboard, that anchor will only work to tangle and pull the others out.
