The Assist was designed for emergency\/fire\/rescue professionals (and for the well-equipped civilian) who rely on their knives to function flawlessly under pressure. Even with twenty-five years experience in making rescue knives, Spyderco is still offering new high-tech features and the Assist model showcases the latest and greatest in this knife genre.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe VG-10 patented blunt-tipped blade is a toothy eighty-percent SpyderEdged for aggressively cutting seatbelts and fibrous material. The last inch of the tip we've left PlainEdge for detailed cutting (think sharpening pencils). Perched above the Round Hole, a Cobra Hood positions the thumb directly over the hole for quick blade deployment, then 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 a molded wonder of Bi-Directional textured contours and 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. Outlined in safety orange on the handle's spine is a shrill and attention-pitched survival whistle. Carries left\/right handed, tip-up by means of a tension wire clip.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta initial-scale='1\"'\u003e","brand":"S\u0026R KNIVES INC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53949289799,"sku":"","price":189.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2065\/4723\/products\/spyderco-c79psbbk-blk-assist-wcarbide-tip-combo-edge-folding-knife-2056760.jpg?v=1752422752","url":"https:\/\/www.srknives.com\/products\/spyderco-c79psbbk-blk-assist-w-carbide-tip-combo-knife","provider":"SRK KNIVES AND SPORTS INC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
