Spyderco Rescue Assist I Black FRN Folding Knife (3.69″ Black Serr) C79PSBBK

The Spyderco Assist was designed specifically with emergency, fire and rescue professionals who rely on their knives to function flawlessly under pressure. The Assist from Spyderco features a blunt-tipped VG-1 stainless steel blade with an 80% serrated edge for cutting seatbelts and fibrous material. Above the round thumb hole, a Cobra Hood positions the thumb directly over the hole for quick blade deployment and doubles as a leveraging platform for the thumb. The wavy pattern cut from the top of the blade (created by a fireman from Sweden) and along the inside of the handle let you place a piece of rope (between the half-open blade and handle) and scissor the blade shut- especially convenient for cutting rope in-and-around flesh without having to fully open/expose the knife’s blade. The FRN handle is Bi-Directional textured and contours with bulges that ergonomically wrap around your palm. In the closed position, squeeze the blade deeper into the handle and a retractable carbide tip protrudes out from the base for breaking glass. If that weren’t enough, the handle has a built-in survival whistle. Reversible tip-up wire clip for carry.
