Smith & Wesson Border Guard Folding Rescue Knife 4.4in PS Black Drop Point SWBG1S

The Smith & Wesson Border Guard Folding Rescue Knife is built for those who demand more from their everyday carry—more strength, more capability, and more reliability in the moments that matter most. Rugged, practical, and packed with essential features, this knife is designed for first responders, security professionals, and anyone who appreciates a bold tool with real-world performance.

At the heart of the Border Guard is a 4.4-inch drop point blade crafted from tough 7Cr17MoV stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and durability. The partially serrated edge gives you the best of both worlds—clean slicing with the plain edge and aggressive cutting power for fibrous materials like rope or webbing with the serrations. The black finish not only reduces glare but also adds a layer of corrosion protection, giving the blade a tactical, no-nonsense look.

Deploying the blade is fast and intuitive thanks to ambidextrous thumb studs, giving both right- and left-handed users quick access when every second counts. A sturdy linerlock mechanism ensures the blade stays locked open during use, providing confidence and security while you work.

The handle is made from black anodized titanium-coated aluminum, giving the knife a solid, rugged feel without sacrificing comfort. Its ergonomic shape fits naturally in the hand, offering a reliable grip even during tough jobs. At 5.6 inches closed and weighing 8.8 ounces, the Border Guard makes a statement—this isn’t a lightweight showpiece, it’s a serious tool built to handle serious tasks.

What truly sets this knife apart are its rescue features. A built-in glass breaker tip is ready to punch through windows in emergencies, while the integrated seatbelt and cord cutter provides a safe, fast way to free yourself or others when seconds matter. These additions make the Border Guard an ideal companion for vehicle carry, duty gear, or disaster readiness kits.

The tip-up pocket clip allows for secure carry and quick access, keeping the knife positioned exactly where you need it. With a 10-inch overall length when open, this knife has the reach and authority needed for a wide range of tasks—from daily cutting needs to emergency response.

Every detail of the Smith & Wesson Border Guard Folding Rescue Knife speaks to its purpose-built design. It’s not just another tactical knife—it’s a multifunctional tool you’ll come to rely on, day in and day out. Whether you’re responding to a roadside emergency, cutting through heavy material, or simply opening packages, this knife is always ready.
